 Replying to [comment:5 tibormolnar]:
 > I'm sure many users like it but I personally find it frustrating. Every
 time my chat buddy starts typing someting, this 1 extra line (with the
 "User is typing" message) appears in the conversation and catches my
 attention because it seems as if a new message was received.

 I totally agree. In my opinion the best solution is a setting to choose
 between the new (text) and the old (icon) behaviour, and perhaps no
 notification at all.
