Separate Lives, Separate Windows

I understand that Adium now can keep your IM accounts separated fairly well from each other, giving separate status messages and avatars for each account. But they still all show up in the same window -- and yes, I am aware of the detaching window feature. The problem is that those detached windows are by contact group and the "detachees" have no upper bar of their own. What I really need is completely separate windows (or a tabbed single window) for each account, each showing that account's current status message and popup menu with custom statuses on that account, as well as the specific avatar in use on that account. It is quite important for me to be able to see this separation at all times, as I frequently adjust individual status messages and need to be able to see at a glance at Adium that the statuses and avatars I think I'm showing are really being shown for each account.

Adium 1.3.2, and I have two YIM accounts and one AIM account; technically it's one YIM account that needs to be separate, the other YIM and the AIM account can be combined, but having all three separate would not be bad either. Sorry if this is answered somewhere, I can't imagine this hasn't been addressed before but I didn't find any relevant search results or see anything in the online docs.
