I made this on purpose because if those other events appear to the
chat mode view box reseting the event on the way, user can't handle
those events. There is no such buttons as "Accept" or "View" in the
chat window. So user has to click the flag in the contact list and
then he can handle the event in the event dialog which will be
created.

IMHO, those other events shouldn't appear to the chat mode view box
at all. User can become confused when the event appears there and
he can't do anything for it. If the event doesn't appear there,
the user may understand that he has to open it from the contact list.

Yeah, if there is no any chat window opened, the event will be
currently opened to an event dialog. I think if the user is using
chatmode message view option, the message shouldn't appear to an
event dialog but straight to a chat window. But this should happen
only if the type of event is message; in other cases, it should
be opened to an event dialog (like I already suggested there
above).

If the chat window exists already being non-active somewhere and
a message has arrived, what Licq should do when the user clicks
the icon on the contact list? Do nothing because the message has
already written in the chat window? Or should it activate the
chat window and thus reseting the event? I don't know if that's
possible with QT but it'd be nice if it worked that way. And if
the window was minimized, it would be normalized. Btw, that's the
way how it works in WinIcq. ;)
