"Now that gaim 0.75 supports an auto-expand of a merged
contact upon mouse-over, I think it would make sense
for gaim to opt towards automatically merging identical
buddies. For example, if I have two accounts on the
same protocol with identical buddy lists, each buddy
shows up on the list twice. IE:
Buddies (2/5)
Buddy1224
Buddy1224
Friend47
Friend47
.....
Why not have gaim automatically merge identical
contacts into a single entry, to take advantage of the
auto-expand feature? I don't think it would result in
a loss of any functionality, since you can easily mouse
over a contact, then mouse over the expanded contact to
see which account it belongs to. It would merely serve
to clear up a lot of buddy list clutter when signed on
multiple accounts, which seems to be a common request
from looking on these forums."
