Don't add the Send button to a gtkconv->lower_hbox when the data specifying it already exists. This means you shouldn't get multiple Send buttons for conversations with contacts with multiple contained buddies with whom you've started a conversation. Also, remove that same data when the Send button plugin is removed so that it will come back properly next time you load the plugin.
