I want to see a window with a list of conversations down the left and 
the boxes on the right (something like how Proteus does things). 18 
windows is a little much. And queued messages could appear there.

A fundamental problem is that queued messages may not appear anywhere 
if you crash.

It's still impossible (given current protocols) to set who sees you as 
busy or not. The most you can do is send auto-replies (and do you 
appear as online or busy?).
