Comment (by deryni):

 1) I believe that was discussed and that a display of the protocol icon
 was intended, I'm not sure what happened to that.
 2) Also discussed and was actually sort of done, the infopane right-click
 menu does include the Send To menu, but as long as the infopane is
 optional the menubar Send To item sort of has to stay (and no having it
 appear and disappear isn't really a good idea, though we could entertain
 disabling it when the infopane is active but I think that would be
 confusing).
 3) This was done in the development code for a while, most of us found the
 jumping around of the widgets in the window too annoying, also it meant
 you couldn't continue clicking the tab X to close all the tabs (something
 I do on occasion).

 So A+ for effort and for being willing to discuss but unfortunately not of
 much use in the end.

 As to the size of the buddy icon, I am really amazed that people think it
 is too small to identify, I never would have guessed people really wanted
 96x96 (give or take) icons staring at them all the time. I'm not sure if
 the size will change but the new conversation window isn't set in stone
 yet.
