	I think the gnomeicu approach is much, much more sane. If you think
about it from the "software should act like a butler" analogy, the gaim
approach is like telling your butler you have no need of his services to
which he responds by running behind the sofa and staying there until you
roar "will you ever F**K off and leave me alone!".

	We don't need "minimise", "close" and "really close" buttons imho.

Good Luck,
Mark.
