Could you elaborate on this, e.g. why would ICQ and other types of
online accounts be deported to a specific preferences window?

This is somehow related to the "Contacts" thread, where it is said we
could replace the empathy contact list with the shell; in this scheme
there's no place any longer for that specific preferences window, and
it makes sense (to me) to have it in the online accounts panel, along
others.
