I'm also all for this. Splitting this down this means
 1: Fixing the presence applet
 2: Fixing the contact list
 3: Fixing KDED
 4: and then we can add the stuff you've already done to the accounts KCM

I'm not sure if we should do this all at once, or one item at a time.
If we change one item we NEED to change the rest before 0.7... but
that may be a good thing.

This isn't actually blocking on the individual presence, it can happen
separately modifying all the accounts, then we can port it to do each
account (which would be more useful I'm sure) after the above is done.
Would be a good way to get one of our new guys leading a new feature
on their own, that'd be good.

I approve of making AdiumTheme* completely internal to AdiumThemeView,
whether it makes sense to remove them, I'm not sure.

You had an idea of just renaming things in the installer - I like that plan.

Part of the rationale is we then don't have issues with the headers
being installed from  the text-ui, and we also can remove all the code
in the app which is just managing the toolbars and buttons. I tried
this once... progress was slow. It's a lot of work.

I don't know what "handlers handling"  means.

_If_ you don't include wishlist or task items, we've done that :)
We have 91.

I kinda want to remove our use of the "task" flag in bugzilla so that
it shows 91 on the bugzilla weekly report page.
