I was sure not everyone would like the tabbed contact list.
I never tried the lancelot component (since I don't like lancelot),
but I must say most users (dummy ones) don't know how to play with
plasmoids, and I if you look at Adium (Mac OS IM) it can have
a transparent UI which people just love it.

I totally agree with you, but even with my accounts setup I still get up set
when simple things like droping a file on a contact list does not work
or when i have to go to various menus which have the same information
to find the right option to do one thing. :P
My idea of account set up is open a new left tab hide the contact list
and show a ui like the aMSN or ms msn. That is really simple
and a nice scroll wit the protocols saying for example that jabber is the
one for gtalk...
