Sorry, sorry, it's a known bug, fixed ages ago in the newer trees of
svn. I'll try and get the older trees onto the (now quite stable)
current version from the newer ones quite soon. An easier workaround is
to go to the buddies tab and then press add (since it's the same add
box, you can still add local accounts with it).

HTH,
