Good idea. Unfortunately, I'm not sure to do it right since the first
time you launch pidgin, you get the account window with a special text
(since there's no account). If you add the zeroconf/bonjour account by
default, you won't see this text, so there's no need to show the dialog.
And in the end, it might be less user-friendly for a first-time
experience.

But if we think it's worth it, we can do it.

Opinions?

Oh cool. This means the package I did is fine, I guess? I'll upload it
now.
