In purple_buddy_icons_set_account_icon, call the prpl's set_buddy_icon function if the account is in the connecting state (not just connected). I believe this is the polite thing to do. I'm seeing a little race condition in the jabber prpl where if the user changes their icon while the account is connecting, the new icon isn't set. This is one half of the fix. I don't _think_ this will cause problems. It's possible that some prpls will be unhappy if a user tries to set an icon while the account is connecting. If those problems exist, I think they should be fixed in each prpl.
