This is incredibly frustrating, I've found myself opening another chat, just so I can see if they're typing. Possible solutions: - Bring the status bar back - Always show tabs - Show something in the window title? Empathy has a "user is typing" icon, which is really cool. - We _can't_ add anything to main chat part, because it would break using Adium Themes. Alternatively we could just forget the Adium theme nonsense and just implement something that doesn't suck, where we can do what we want.

Easy to do operation and quite clean as well, but I think a status bar is more noticable > - We _can't_ add anything to main chat part, because it would break using > Adium Themes.
