Very nice mockup! Say thank you to him :P

As for the avatar only - don't forget you can have people with no avatars or
(less likely though) people with same avatars, in that case, you need to
make distinction between those. Also it would be cool if you could reply
in-place. Sort of quick-reply and next to that text-edit would be a button
for full conversation window.

If the history will be stored in Nepomuk, there's no need for a textobserver
as you can get the data directly from Nepomuk.
