The point is that this IM has some kind of interface, which looks
like:
.-----------------------------.---------------.
| User's picture | Contact list: |
| User name | * Sylvia |
| | * Tom |
| <Tom> Hi ! | * Pierre |
| <You> Hello. | * Dummy |
| <Tom> foo ? | * bar |
| <You> baz. | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
|-----------------------------| |
| Textbox. | |
| | |
| | |
`-----------------------------°---------------'
This interface is independent from your current window configuration
and can be shown/hidden everywhere. It uses window-configuration
functions to allow this.
In order to not mess up the whole thing and not bother the user with
a huge buffer list, all these buffers are hidden using the leading
space technique.
I'm doing the same with jabber buffers: all chat buffers start with
a space, and I've made up some functions to list them.
Is it a misuse of this technique ?
