New description:

 Showing buddy list in taskbar makes it harder to switch to chat window for
 grouped taskbar (which is default in Windows 7), and becomes specially
 annoying when you want to do that ''quickly''. Besides that, I see no
 purpose for showing buddy list in taskbar, at least in Windows. Buddy list
 can be easily accessed in system tray (even more easily if #1458 gets
 implemented).
