Hi Ben,
	I appreciate your work. But as I said, in a previous mail, the PRESENCE plasmoid will display 
info related to account presence. The contactlist is to be seen as another seperate plasmoid. We've 
already got some good ideas for the contact list so please wait to see the first layout before doing 
extra work on it. I'll definatly consider your mockups and ideas :)

Francesco
