I considered having an option to enable more options, but I dismissed
it because it would over-complicate things (and partially for the
irony).

That would be a pain in the butt. Also, it would mean that empathy
would be more configurable than telepathy-kde.
And the day GNOME becomes more easily configurable than KDE, mankind
will weep! ;)

There are lot of people (me included) that always like to have a quick
glance at any advanced options available (In this case it wouldn't
serve much purpose, but it's a force of habit I guess). So, while the
advanced button shouldn't draw too much attention to itself, it also
shouldn't send the user out of their way too much when clicked. Often
a user will want to go back quickly.
