Fix that pesky ICQ "Unable to add buddy 1" error. Basically we were trying to add something to our server-stored buddy list, but there was no "master container" to add the item to. For normal buddies the oscar code added the master container if needed, but that wasn't happening for things like the buddy icon item, or the permit/deny item. So if you had an empty buddylist and you attempted to set an icon for your icq account, or you changed your privacy setting, or you went invisible or not invisible then you'd see the error.
