 I just found a new icon in the menu bar, one that (I think) shows the
 availablity of new messages. I can't say for sure when it was added, but I
 just wanted to say that this is a bad idea.

 I always size the window to only show "Buddies Accounts Tools". I don't
 need "Help" and I don't want the buddy window to be unnecessarily big. Now
 the new message icon overlays the "Tools" menu, which looks horrible.

 Please re-implement this, so that the icon only shows up after "Help". Or,
 better yet, make the status icon for a user that has send a message blink
 with the new message icon, so that one can see who wrote a message without
 opening the msg dialog. At least, give an option to disable this.
