The issue is that you don't want to send the notification if you don't
know the buddy is online, since that will cause error dialogs to pop up
on many IM networks.  pidgin records the logged-in status for your
buddies, so that's what we check.

What happens with pidgin if you try to send a message to a
not-logged-in person on IRC?  If the answer is "nothing", then maybe the
is_logged_in callback can be modified with an exception for IRC?
