It would be nice if I could see the console messages for one specific account or protocol only. 

The UI could be:
* a button in the account prefs: "View log for this account"
or 
* a dropdown in the error console: "Filter by account" or "Filter by protocol"

hmm, maybe adapting the Console² extension from Firefox would help?

The log messages from libpurple contain an indication of the "module" which produced them. I guess we can use that to filter by protocol.

Filtering by account would be more usable, but given the way libpurple works, I don't think we can currently provide a way to do it.

It would be nice to have a way to copy to the clipboard all the log messages related to an account that failed to connect properly.

See also bug 954012 (bio 575).

Marking this as "new", at least filtering by protocol would be useful (most users only use one of each protocol, so you'd automatically be able to filter by account too.)

I think this is really fulfilled by bug 955260.
