Has anyone else had the issue of adding various IM accounts, merging all the addresses for a contact for one, and then having to go through manually removing the fields after removing that IM account?

Was wondering if there's some sort of utility that could do this automatically...?

This is also a pain if some of the account plugins aren't smoothed over yet and tend to keep adding the contacts again, so that you have to go to your master contact, remove the IM details and then merge again with the newly added IM contact (i get this specific issue with the facebook plugin for example).
