Hmm, I think such dialog should provide multiple ways for a user to
add a contact, like in Gabber.  When adding a contact user can choose
to search JUD (ok, this may go to a separate dlg), add contact from
another IM network, or just enter JID manually.

While "Search JUD" can be a separate dialog, I don't see nice ways of
solving "another IM" problem.  Forcing user to enter a JID like
address@hidden isn't too nice because he has to know domain
name of ICQ transport on his Jabber server...  An idea of using Jabber
browsing for this purpose just came to my mind.  We should think a
little on this choice.
