The issue presumably is that you sometimes miss the status notifier in the
corner, which is why you want this feature.

Discussion Time:

Lets say this did open automatically open, would a new entry in the tasbar be
any easier to spot? 

What if you already had the text-ui open chatting to Person A, minimised it,
and then Person B messages you? You won't notice until you talk to Person A
again.  
Even worse if it's now removed from the notification area (which currently
would happen, fixing that would mean showing a notification for any unread
messages not unopened conversations)

How do we deal with different virtual desktops or activities?

The chat plasmoid is meant to resolve this, what if we just added that by
default?

I want to fix the root of the problem, not add options that possibly fix it for
some people.
