 When you auto-join a chat, by default the starting state is hidden and the
 window will not be shown until some post is made into it.

 It would be nice to have an option to control this behavior and allow the
 creation of the window at auto-join time.

 Note that the current behavior will cause the window to be created and on
 Windows XP it will jump in front of all your other windows and start
 capturing your keyboard events.

 This can be very bad as when your password gets sent out to the world...

 This option could either be a global option or on a room-by-room basis.

 Note that there is currently a related bug that you cannot double-click to
 open a Jabber chat room that you have selected for auto-join.

 See item #2890 for more.  This item was split from #3682 which is a
 duplicate of #2890.  A mildly related ticket is #216.
