GtkBlist: don't set the Urgent hint whenever a connection error occurs or is updated In principle, setting Urgent is a good idea, because the user can tell that an error has occurred. However, it winds up being repeatedly re-set every time an account tries and fails to reconnect, which is incredibly annoying. I think the right solution is to keep a set of accounts we've set urgent for, removing them from the set when they successfully connect. But not setting it at all is better than the current state.
