I added my own ICQ account to the buddy list and the tooltip of this account doesn't show the chosen buddy icon if the application was restarted since it was set.
It is displayed right after setting a new one though, which persists until the application is restarted.

There are also error messages in the console that seem to indicate that for some reason libpurple discarded the cached files of some icons it should have kept. That's very likely related.

During libpurple's initialization, after reading all the accounts from the accounts.xml file, it adds a reference on each icon used by an account in the buddyicon store. We need to do that too for each account we load. Otherwise, some icons are lost when receiving them back from the server.
