Today I was met by a message saying "New IC... Name i..."
What? I became very confused

Apparently Empathy is trying to tell me that the ICQ account is already in use somewhere else (in this case another app on the same machine). The default width of the contact list clashes hard with the width this message wants to have.

What it really wants to say is:
"New ICQ Account"
"Name in use"

One solution could be to make the error into a short, one line message on one line and put the buttons on a second row.
