Bug Description

The pidgin "Send To" menu normally shows the username, alias, and protocol icon for every entry in a metacontact. Unfortunately, the Global Menu currently does not show the icon--which is rather important if you're manually switching protocols while IMming someone--in a lot of cases, they can have the same username on different networks.

Attached is a pair of screenshots illustrating this.

I tried to create a metacontact for be able to see the "Send To" menu, but I didn't know how to do that. I was using pidgin from natty.

Ah, after some googling I found out you need to have two buddies with same alias in a same group and then pidgin will ask if the accounts can be merged. Now I was able to see the "Send To" menu and indeed it didn't show any icons. I can confirm the bug.
