Title:
  Use avatars in addition to colors for accounts selector

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.
