Missing ICQ features / anyone seen those?



Hi,

There are two features I've been missing / would like to have
in ICQ, but I havn't found any implementation with either...
So I thought I bring this up, maybe somebody knows one,
or gets an idea for implementing one :)

1. The Windows client allow for a pseudo chat like view of
the messages exchanged with somebody and if your counterpary
sends several messages in short (or long) time they will automatically
appear on the top half of the window.
In all (working) Linux client I've seen you need to press the next
message button if a new message arives. This is a bit inconvenient
as I don't always notice them at first and may be replying to only
part of the message :(

2. I have only relatively few friends on my contact list, so it would
be very nice if it could somehow be completely integrated into the
Gnome panel. Maybe similar to the taskview applet or something like that...
That way there would be no need to open up the separate ICQ window
to see the status of a couple of peole at a glane and to be able to
quickly start conversations with them or send files etc...
For me a panel applet woulf be an ideal place for it.
Unfortunatelly allthough some clients (GnomeICU etc.) have a panel
applet they only display a very small summary number and don't allow
much directly beside changing my status quickly...

Does anybody think that the above features would be usefull?
Or maybe even know a version that supports something like that?

Many thanks for your help in advance!
best regards,
Balazs
