Review request for Telepathy.


Changes
-------

New suggestion for icons, as announced. I moved the "Group chat" button to the toolbar, it uses the "IRC" icon (not perfect semantically but should be ok, since IRC is very group-chatty -- and the default icon, which 99% of users will see, is perfect), and the "Show grouped" to the menu instead. Also contains the new "Show offline" icon, which I'll add to kci if you approve.

This brings up the question, do we need sizes other than 22x22 for it? I.e. can the toolbar icons be displayed in a different size?


Description
-------

Use more sensbile icons for the toolbar. See screenshot. Main problems which I wanted to address:
 * The "merge contacts" icon looks like it adds a contact.
 * The "show grouped" icon is the "edit-group" icon which makes no sense and also looks weird
 * The "show offline" icon is the "meeting-attending-tentative" which makes a) no sense and b) looks like it's disabled all the time.

Nothing breaks by changing icons, does it?
