Don't show "D <name>" after sending direct messages

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Right click on a tweet and select "send direct message"
2. Noticed that "D <name>" is shown
3. type something after that and click update

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
status bar should say "direct message to <name> sent". Instead, the direct
message is shown in the tweets list, which it shouldn't.

The patch attached implements the requested behavior as described above in the
expected output section.

I initially coded it so that the behavior matched twhirl (showed the message in 
the
regular timeline with the "d <username>" part stripped out) but scrapped it.  To
truly mirror the behavior regarding the way the tweet was displayed would 
require too
much refactoring/changing just to match.

Pardon me if this isn't the best place to be suggesting this, but what about 
having
the "Send Direct Message" option in the context menu trigger the appropriate 
drawer
from the "Messages" tab instead for the sake of consistency?  I haven't had the 
time
to dig into anything yet, but I assume this would also fix the aforementioned 
issue.

Applied patch

Nick - we're thinking of getting rid of the Messages tab since it's kind of a 
hidden
feature, doesn't take advantage of autocomplete, etc.
