[GSoC]Integration of kde-telepathy into the Plasma Workspace

[Rémy Greinhofer]

Hi!

I think what you will try to do with the grid view existed during a short
periof of time in an IM client named synapse.im. The project is now
discontinued, but if you search for pictures (
http://images.google.com/images?q=synapse.im&biw=1280&bih=603), you could
still see it.
I think is it a really nice to have feature.
