Summary: changes to accounts don't take effect until restart

Initial Comment:
I need to restart AYTTM to get some changes i made to a jabber account to work - i occationally get it reset to the previous setting if i hit disconnect or reconnect. Not tried this on the other protocols yet.

I'm running the latest version of AYTTM off git, and installed it via make/make install

Message:
I'm not sure what is happening, because I am able to see configuration
changes without restarting the app. The Preferences UI is quite shabby; it
is one of those things inherited from everybuddy which nobody ever touched.
It is one of the things we're looking to rewrite in the near future.

I suppose there's two parts then. disconnect/reconnect resets the changes i
made - but even after i hit ok, the changes in the server info i made did
not take (i was trying to get my LJ talk account working by trial and
error). I had to shutdown AYTTM each time and restart it, to get the
changes i made to work.

I am not a programmer, but it is almost like it reads the info when the
programmes start and dosen't check if the info is changed.

If i may, disconnecting and reconnecting does not belong in the account
edit window, and a apply option might be a good idea as well- but at this
point, i'm going beyond a bug report ;)

Message:
Are you talking about changes being saved when you click the
Connect/Disconnect button in the Preferences window or in the main status
window? The former is a known issue. You have to click on OK to have the
preferences saved.
