 Hi guys!

 I've written a patch for this and I hope you'll like it. This is how it
 works:
 before printing an IM to window it calls a function to check if protocol
 has changed and if yes, it notify the users. To detect if protocol has
 changed, before printing an IM the protocol is stored in
 PidginConversation->account_old (field added in gtkconv.h for the patch).
 I used PidginConversation instead of PurpleConversation because there can
 be more PurpleConversations in a windows/tab and PidginConversation let me
 select last active PurpleConversation.
 To prevent fake protocol changes that would come if using more tabs in the
 same windows but with different protocols, the notify message is printed
 only if conversation is active.

 diff -u output of gtkconv.h and gtkconv.c will follow.
