Comment (by bradwjensen):

 People, when is this going to end? So far no one has really came up with a
 TRULY IMPORTANT reason for why you NEED to see the protocol Right Away.

 This is basically a fight over the fast that people are lazy and like the
 convenience of not having to take more time than needed to find out which
 protocol they are talking too..

 If you really need to know, i guess you can just right click someone with
 more than one protocol and use the one you want.

 I still do think it would be a nice feature to have the protocol icons on
 the IM Tabs for a quick reference on where u stand with someone but then
 again It's NOT NEEDED.. So really, all of you should stop arguing and
 posting comments on this UNLESS you have a REALLY good reason for NEEDING
 to know the protocol icon right away when you know you can just take one
 step more to find out the protocol by right clicking on someone and
 expanding them.

 The End. This arguing really does nothing more than wastes the developers
 time in getting other fixes done..
