I have accounts on numerous IRC servers; however, I don't need to remain logged into all of them all the time. I only really need to log into them when I join a channel. However, that would require me to open the account list and enable the appropriate account before I can connect to a channel. Ideally, I'd like to select a currently-disconnected account from the chat dialog, type in a channel name, and have Pidgin automatically connect to the appropriate account. Similarly, opening a channel from the buddy list should connect to the appropriate account. - Josh Triplett
