Using Pidgin

 === How do I use AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, Jabber/XMPP, ICQ, or any other protocol? ===
 Use the Account Editor (Accounts->Add/Edit) to add the account of the appropriate messaging service.  Use the checkbox in the account editor to enable the current account.

+=== How do I set a buddy icon? ===
+There are two ways to do this:
+  * '''Global''' - This will affect all of your accounts.  On the Buddy List window, beside the status selector at the bottom, there is an area that will have a generic photo icon if you have no icon set.  You can click that and select an icon from there.  The icon will take effect for all accounts you have configured in Pidgin.
+  * '''Per-account''' - This will affect only the account you modify.  Go to Accounts->''your account''->Edit Account.  On that dialog, check the box labeled "Use this buddy icon for this account:", then click the leftmost button below that checkbox.  Select your buddy icon.
