Comment (by tibormolnar):

 I also agree that this should be configurable.[[BR]]

 I personally found the old-style indicator nice and useful, even though
 the existence of the mere notification is not vital for me.[[BR]]

 On the other hand, the new-style in-line indicator I found so frustrating
 that I downgraded back to 2.3.1. Every time my chat buddy starts typing
 someting, the "user is typing" line appears in the conversation window and
 catches my attention because it seems as if a new message was
 received.[[BR]]

 I would be grateful for any kind of solution that enables me to switch off
 the in-line indicator - whether along with swtiching on the old-style
 icons or not.
