The user account icon alongside the service (Twitter, Identi.ca...) icon
should be used when available, as every Twitter application out there is
doing this and the user will mostly expect it from Gwibber.

In addittion, on Gwibber 3.2.0.1, the color is used on the new tweet
tooltip, but NOT on the mouseover account icon that popups on every
tweet/message. As a result, you'll have two or more identical icons with
the same tooltip if you have more than one account with the same
provider. Also, you will never know from what account the tweet/message
comes from. Should I issue a separate bug?

Title:
  Use avatars in addition to colors for accounts selector

Status in Gwibber:

Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gwibber

  Gwibber is now a really good tool to manage several social services
  within a single tool.

  Something that could improve its usability for people who manage quite
  of a few of those (e.g. several twitter accounts) would be to show the
  avatar linked to the account in the icons used to select which account
  will be used to send a status update.

  At this time, Gwibber uses the service logo and a user-picked color
  (completed by a mouse over tooltip) ; instead of a color (or maybe in
  addition to it?), I think an icon that would combine the service logo
  and the avatar used for the given account would make it much easier to
  pick the right account one wants to use for a given update.
