--- Comment #3 from Roman <me at jtalk.me> ---
> 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.  
Window state can be observed, and tray icon or notification can be emerged if
message is arrived to the invisible window. If user wants to have notifications
of incoming conversations, one ought to use System Notifications
infrastructure, not self-written tray icons. Keep it simple. 

> 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)
Adding separate notifications for unread messages and new conversations is a
solution.

> How do we deal with different virtual desktops or activities?
What KDE applications design guidelines say about that? If notifications are
transferable between desktops/activities, let it be so. If not, they are not
designed for that situations and should not be used. I'm not sure about all
that activities stuff, someone could find a better solution. 

> The chat plasmoid is meant to resolve this, what if we just added that by default?
Add what? Plasmoid? We'd better not. Plasma panels have not being designed for
intensive user-desktop interactions, many plasma themes make your plasmoids
look weird. Plasmoid might be a choice, but we must not force users to use
this.
