I have a few accounts in iChat:
- GMail
- AIM
- Google Apps (a custom domain)
Both GMail and Google Apps put all my contacts in the 'Buddies' list. Can I rename my Gmail list to "GMail Contacts' or something else so that both accounts dont get merged?

I actually just tried this and iChat does it automatically. As you can see I have a different window for each account, and I think you can actually set the window's title by setting the account description under
Settings->Accounts. As you can see I even have different groups for each account.Although I usually have them unified using Chax's feature
