Notification for chat rooms

[Robert Schneider]

Hi,

We are using jabber within our company. We have our own openfire server.

it seems to me that it is not possible to get notifications when people 
write into a chat room. We have a single chat room where everybody is 
present. The chat room is persistent in the buddy list. Now, if the 
window of the chat room is closed the only hint that I get when someone 
has written anything is that the font of the buddy entry gets bold. A 
hint that is quite useless.

I tried Guification but it seems to me that it is only applied for 
normal buddys, not for chats. Those small pop-ups of Guification would 
be what I would like to have - with a content that shows the name and 
the message.

How can I get this working? Can anyone help me with this?

I need a solution for both Linux and Windows machines.

Thank you,
Robert
