I don't want to have to tweak it.  I want it to have sane defaults.
At least it should be in the standard config tool.

I couldn't find the icon for pidgin in gnome3 as far as I recall.  It was
simply nowhere.  And it was wasting an enourmous amount of screen space
on some dock looking thing.  Gnome has always wasted too much screen
space on panels by default.

I really didn't have the patience to figure out why anything wasn't
working.   It didn't just work, so I switched to something that did.
