No, no, I wrote from the useability point of view. I meant my personal focus. 
The notifaction is for me right at the bottom - the chat window can be

Well, can think of some #ifdef's too. 
My main wish is to add an answer possibility to this notification window. A 
textfield and a send button. Is that possible with KNotification?

Is it possible to build a plasma interface around libkopete - like it is done 
with pidgin and libpurple?
