Initial Comment:
Modifying ayttm to have a tray icon and behave a little
bit more like the native messenger apps would be
convenient.  gaim has one (though I don't like the
behaviour of this too much).  


I jsut find it inconvenient to have ayttm occupying
space on the task bar when there are no chats open or
anything.

As a workaround for those waiting/hoping for this feature,
I'm currently running Virtual Dimension to give me virtual
desktops on Windows, and it also gives you a right-click
menu on each window's border that lets you set properties
for that window (like which virtual desktop to put it on,
etc.).  One of those properties is "minimize to tray".  Once
you enable this option, as long as Virtual Dimension is
running your app will minimize to the tray and will not take
up any taskbar real estate.  Nice.  (I'd still like this to
be an Ayttm feature.)

I second this.  I think it would be very convenient, and is
actually one of the factors that made me almost choose
another IM client to use on Windows at work (task bar gets
cluttered; I still went with ayttm, though ;)
