That's great. However, i have to ask: wouldn't you be willing to make 
your hands dirty on other usability issues of Psi first ? The reason i 
ask is that, personally, i would first like to get a decent and clear 
Account Setup dialog. I'm waiting on XMPP compatibility mode for this, 
because this makes the UI simpler i think (certain things can be done 
with SSL).

While this work is fairly independent from a wizard, i'm not sure if we 
really want a wizard at this point. It's the ultimate 'aunt tilly uses 
Psi' goal, sure, but it seems like a feature that doesn't belong in the 
'core' Psi client right now, as it might get in the way in certain 
environments. It seems to me that a good account dialog can go a long 
way. Just my 2 cents :)

cheers,
Remko
