The main problem here is that we don't have any way to just "hide" these
messages, so when you delete the account and the messages disappear,
those messages are being totally deleted, and then when you re-add the
account they're being redownloaded anew.

I think we need to consider whether it really is the expected behavior
that disabling an account without deleting it, should be deleting the
messages. In my mind, Gwibber serves as a record of what messages you
received. Compare to an email client; if you tell it to stop checking
for new mail at one of your addresses, it doesn't scan through all your
archive folders to delete every mail you ever got from that address. it
might do that if you delete the account, but not if you simply disable
it.

Title:
  Disabled accounts data appears in timeline

Status in Friends:
  Incomplete
Status in Gwibber:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  If you toggle off an online account, it doesn't remove posts from
  timeline

  To repeat:

  Add an online account, eg facebook
  Start gwibber
  --Timeline fills up with facebook posts
  Close gwibber
  Toggle account off in online accounts (both setting 'gwibber' to off, or turning off the entire account)
  gwibber still contains the previous data from the account

  EDIT: It appears that if I completely remove the account from online
  accounts the data is removed from gwibber.. Is this intended? If I
  disable an account I simply get no new data from the data source, and
  I must remove the account completely to remove the data? (If so, what
  about the other account integration points I may want to keep?)
