Good question :-). One thought is to change the window title to
differentiate, e.g.
"Compose Mail" -> stand-alone
"Compose Mail - KMail" -> launched by kmail
"Compose Mail - Kontact" -> launched by kontact

'close document' doesn't make much sense for a kopete chat window unless
it closes the window. So if 'close document' cannot close a window, such
kopete window should not have such an action.

Heh. At $DAYJOB I use IM mostly as an alternative to shouting across (or
getting up from my desk and walking down) the hall ;-). But also to ask
quick questions when mail is overkill. It's basically the same use as IRC.
