Bug Description

Today, after having used many Twitter clients, including at least one that supports multiple streams, I finally discovered the multiple stream feature of Gwibber...but not through using the application. I discovered it through reading the blog.

I think the word stream isn't necessarily the best choice, and that "New Stream..." doesn't have the right feel. Three suggestions:
1. Streams should be available via a view menu or a preference. Such as View > Multiple streams...or View > Add Stream
2. Stretching the window wider makes it have pretty weird proportion, and since readability goes down with longer line lengths, maybe making it wider should just introduce more streams automatically, sort of like how the sidebar changes to a tree-view when expanded horizontally.
3. At a minimum, changing the "New Stream..." menu to "Add stream..." would help, I think.
