Change up the Add Budy dialog a little bit, this hopefully makes it a bit cleaner and a bit more obvious what some of the fields do. At very least it shouldn't be any worse. Further helpful changes and/or suggestions for replacing the "Add a buddy." helper text welcome. Also, only show the Online Buddies and Total Buddies items in the group tooltip when there are more than 0 online or total buddies.

This program calls purple API functions using DBus and prints the return value.
If you are not interested in the return value, use purple-send-async.

Usage:

   $0 method-name type1:parameter1 type2:parameter2 ...

This shell script just invokes dbus-send, see man dbus-send for how 
to specify the parameters.  

Examples:

   $0 PurpleAccountsFindConnected string: string:prpl-jabber
   $0 PurpleAccountsGetAll
   $0 PurpleCoreQuit

Use dbus-viewer to get the list of supported functions and their parameters.
