Well that's certainly intersting... you've just described Gaim... :) You can have an IM style chat window for ICQ, AND it comes with a gnome panel applet. You click the applet, your contact list pops up. Click again, it's gone. The applet will also graphically show your current status. Best of all, it works with AIM, ICQ, MSN, Jabber, and probably quite a few other protocols that I know nothing about. :) -Alex
