wishlist: Indicator-applet needs active chatrooms under "Chat"

[Ketil Wendelbo Aanensen]

Binary package hint: indicator-applet

I'm using Emapthy with IRC, and I'd really like to see the chatrooms I'm currently in listed below "Chat" in the messaging menu. That way, I would not need to have the chatroom windows open.
Thanks!

In my opinion, Empathy now has some inconsistency when it comes to clicking the X (close window):
- X-ing away the main window (the one that lists contacts) leaves Empathy running
- X-ing away chat windows closes the conversation(s), disconnecting chatrooms.

What if you are logged into 15IRC channels?

@Omer Akram: What about one indicator-applet entry that says: "IRC channels"?

IRC channels in empathy are also chat rooms.

I'm aware of that. What's your point?

Expanding, how about someting along these lines?
- If all chats are in one tabbed window, X-ing them sends them to messaging window with the entry "Tabbed Chats".
- If the umber of separate chat windows are equal to or less than, say 5, then have them as separate entries in the messaging menu. If there are more than that number, give a warning that X-ing them away will disconnect the conversations.

Hopefully you understand my main point, even though the minor details would need some adjusting.
