Bug Description
For my purposes, I have a smallish window size for Empathy. When I am unable to connect to a network because of some error, Empathy displays a message. However since my Empathy window is not wide enough, I cannot read the entire message (see attached screenshot). The only way I was able to read the error message was to widen the window.
I think it can be made more user friendly. One option would be to show a tooltip with the entire error message upon moving the cursor over the message. Another option is to display a dialog box with the error message when clicked on the message.

I would suggest that another chat window could open containing only system messages from the application. These messages would be logged and synced in the same manner as chat logs.
