* Prefs {{{
	* this blocks for 2.0.0
	* Prefs cannot stay as-is.  the dialog is far too wide and not at all usable.
	* The biggest problem is that each new plugin creates horizontal space. {{{
		* I do not see it as a solution to remove the posability of plugin preferences.
		* In the past, we had a separate plugin management dialog.  People never found it,
		  and were often surprised to learn that gaim had plugins at all.  I am unsure that
		  people find the current plugin page of preferences any more frequently, but I
		  *suspect* that it is the case.  This leads to a conundrum, how do plugins
		  display preferences?
		}}}
	* Currently the window is, at my font size, 1129x505 (or should that be 505x1129?).  It *should* fit
	  in 800x600 at worst, I'm unsure that 480x640 is a reasonable goal.  still, this leaves us with
	  something either considerably wider or considerably taller than we are currently using (on any
	  given pane, the tabs force the width, not the contents).  Further, taking "Message Text" as an
	  example, it has 3 preferences and a text area, each in its own category (the text area sharing a
	  category with 1 preference). obvious waste of space here.  All 3 could clearly be uncategorised
	  without loss of meaning, categories only make sense for groups of preferences.  It may even be
	  possible to combine this with "Conversations" entirely.
