It shouldn't. Consider bad connection and occasional/often connection drops,
that causes you to quickly reconnect. Or even simple bug that sends you
offline. You instantly lose all your opened chats and thus momentarily loosing
data (of course you can open history, but that's just not right). Also please
don't solve this by adding "pin" for the chat. One does not necessarily always
want to have a chat icon present instead of not-autoclosing.

As a real-world use case, see gmail's chat. If you open a chat and set yourself
to offline, the chats stays opened.

Furthermore, if you loose the chat, you have to go all the way through opening
contact list, looking for the contact, opening chat again (and in case you want
to see history > 5 last messages, you have to open the log viewer).

Please just leave them there, any solution would cause more troubles than it
would solve.
