I use Gaim for instant messaging. I use guifications so that I am notified when someone sends me a message. But this is not enough for me. I think what I want is this: - All Gaim windows go to a specific workspace. - Whenever someone talks to me via Gaim, then I get a notification about this that is unobtrusive but not transient. I am requesting the first one because sometimes I lose a chat window (in the sense of forgetting where it is). That is, I go to the buddy list, double click on a contact and nothing happens. That's because the chat window for that contact is already open. But I don't know where the chat window is. In one case, it was one of five windows in a "full" layout workspace. For the second one, I am not sure what to do. Perhaps the workspace name in the workspace list should flash? Or I should get an indicator in the status bar that a Gaim message is waiting for me? Kai
