Since on the n900 it scrolls by dragging the contact list, is there still any way to merge contacts?

I'm having a problem with pidgin. First my status somehow is stuck on "away" with a big box underneath that says "I'm not here right now".
It will not change to any other status.
When I tried to uninstall pidgin, it will not uninstall. It comes back saying "unable to uninstall Pidgin Internet Messenger. Some applications packages are needed by other applications."
Any idea what I can do?

Go to Tools, Preferences, Sounds Tab.
Check out the options there. Sounds for the built in default sound theme are not very high....
The sound waves are in:
/usr/share/sounds/purple

- People don't want their every world wide contact to show up on their list when they want to dial out. Also, they do not want every people on their phone list to be able to see their online status. For instance, I would not have the pizza place see my online status, nor would I want the support dude on my foreign web host to list on my carphone kit.
All this could be fixed by adding multiple contacts lists, better filters and more in the integrated IM client, and most importantly, a good buddy list. But as it is now, I don't really feel using the integrated IM client is good enough to use.
In principle, though, integrated IM client sounds like an excellent idea... But several hundred names to scroll through when in a hurry to dial out doesn't.

Is there any way to remove the msn contacts that were added easily instead of having to either manually remove each or erase the contacts list?

U can use groups to see only ur sim/phone contacts. I just want to get rid of all the im contacts.
Second question, a little more smart: Is there a way to add Gfire as I have in Linux desktop?
