Sure, why not. It just seemed to me like the icons were intended as a
replacement for the context menu. But now the menu is back and I'm happy

Ctrl-i already shows the buddy information window, but keyboard
shortcuts to access functions directly withoud needing to go the longer
way through a menu are always welcome.
