When a new user starts Pidgin we hide the buddy list so that they only see the account window to make it easier for them to create an account. But then once they create an account the buddy list stays minimized, which makes people think nothing is happening. This changes makes it so we unhide the buddy list when gtkaccount.c creates the first account.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go

"Related Pages" section.
