Bug Description

As it stands, there is no what I'll call "stop word" preventing non-reply direct messages from going to more than one service. A Gwibber user who uses both Twitter and Identica could mean to dmessage a Twitter account, but a different person holds the Identica account. Worse, that Gwibber user may accidentally reveal some information to other users if he has Pidgin updating enabled, as well.

I think the best remedy for this is the service selection feature that seems highly desired.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Add a Twitter account and a Pidgin account to Gwibber.
2) Send a direct message such as "d colindean all your base are belong to gwibber".
3) DM is sent, but also displayed in Pidgin activity status

The user is responsible to select the to where s/he is sending the message.
Right now this can be done on the Editor, or via Accounts->Manage menu
