Bug Description

Binary package hint: gwibber

Gwibber's account manager doesn't allow you to disable an account. To effectively prevent an account from being used (right now), you must completely remove the account.

Each account, in the listview, should have a check box beside it, which allows you to enable or disable the account without removing it. The will prevent you from having to re-enter authentication, each time you effectively enable or disable and account.

To completely disable an account through the account manager:

1) Select the account
2) Click the "Advanced" expander
3) Uncheck "Receive Messages" and "Send Messaages"

If that is not working properly, you can reopen this bug report.

It would be more intuitive if that section contained an "Enable Account" check-box, and when this check-box is unchecked it should automatically disable the "Receive Messages" and "Send Messages" check-boxes (making them greyed out).

Respectfully.....
