Bug Description

Hello,

Advantage of Friends is to get in the same timeline many accounts in the same time - Identica, Twitter, Facebook etc...

But we don't want always to post an update to ALL of them.

So on the "Share with your friends" window, there is a list of all accounts associated to Friends, with the possibility to check or not each of them.

Personally, I have for the moment Identica and Facebook, but use this one only to read status of my friends and "like" some of them.

When I post a message, 99% of the time it's for Identica only.

So I uncheck the Facebook row.

A few minutes later, if I want to send another message, Facebook is still unchecked, fine.

But if I close and re-launch Friends, or at each computer startup, always all accounts are ticked by default, my settings are not remembered.

With Gwibber previously settings were saved, and I had to manually recheck Facebook if I wanted to post on this network. Here it's a problem because on Friends, each time I run the soft, I have to untick it.

I guess more configuration will come in the next versions, but it would be great to be able to choice weather accounts settings must be saved or not.

Because later, when there will me more complete Twitter integration (with discussion view, interaction...) I will add it, also a Flickr or perhaps future Instagram account etc... but I mostly use Identica (with crosspost to Twitter) for new messages or Identica / Twitter for replies, and I do not want to have to uncheck each time all other accounts.

Thanks !

Hope Ken is okay with it but I willl take this bug. Settings already landed so this should be pretty easy to implement (just didn't want to do this all at once)
