Fix a crash when removing a per-account icon. Here's my explanation: 21:45:22 rlaager: Since we're not saving the buddy icon path to disk (which, as I mentioned earlier, only exists because of QQ), we end up with that being NULL, which is fine. 21:46:08 rlaager: Where fine = fine, as long as we don't care about QQ and if we do, my changes didn't change that behavior, so it's no worse. ;) 21:46:33 rlaager: The crash in the buddy icon code happens because filename is NULL. In that case, we can return, because the image_deleting_cb is only concerned with those PurpleStoredImages that were created by the buddy icon code. I'll commit the fix.
