I have to agree with Wouter Verhelsts posting about gaim.

These are exactly the things about gaim that annoy me most, that it keeps on annoying me with windows I do not need. Sometimes, having the contact list drop down when clicking on the icon in the tray would be a good alternative to the bulky contacts window. If I had a way to fix this window permanently to my sixth desktop I'd be happy, too. Sometimes it will go up there automatically, sometimes not. Maybe I can tell my window manager to do so.

Currently, this is one of the first things I do when I log on: - If network is not up, close annoying gaim popups - If buddy list appears, move it to the last desktop.

I have frequent reconnects, since my ISP (the biggest in germany) will disconnect you every 24h hours by policy. Also when I suspend and resume this happens, of course. This brings me to a wishlist item I added, and that may even be in CVS already, being fairly trivial: command line logout. It's easy for me to add a line to my hibernate script to disconnect gaim before suspend. I just need a way to do so. (reconnect is useful, too, of course. But there are no user if-up.d yet... still not too hard to add for a single user.
