 Replying to [comment:3 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.
 Would be interesting to know 0:-)

 > 2) Also discussed and was actually sort of done, the infopane right-
 click menu does include the Send To menu [...]
 Hm,
 maybe right-clicking could shortcut this? :)

 > 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).
 I cant do this anyway, since the tab size changes with every tab added or
 deleted! (would be nice if they would stay the same size ... yes)

 > 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.
 Since some protocols allow much bigger once some think much more detail is
 possible to recognize. Especially xmpp (may be server depended?) seems to
 allow bigger images than others. I'll attach some examples :p
 Maybe there could be some mouse hover effects, but it would be ugly if the
 hole infopane resizes and overlapping widgets aren't to easy to create
 with gtk IIRC.
