I confirm this. I strongly miss this feature. A user-interface suggestion to
create floats:

- Right click on a contact -> "Create Float(ing window)"
- Drag a contact outside the kopete main window (this may prove problematic for
drop targets though... shift drag? RMB drag?).

It would also be beneficial if the floating window is as small as possible.
Only showing the status icon and username. Unless the user wants more details
in that window?

As an additional (low-priority) wish, as the other implementations did not
offer this: Easy grouping of floats. Let me explain what I mean by this:

In the implementations I know (miranda-im plugins), it was easy to create a
float of a single contact by simply dragging the contact to the desktop. You
could even "glue" them together by dragging them next to each other. The
benefit: You could easily drag these groups as a single unit. Kind of the way
WinAmp behaved when you stuck it's windows together. However, these groups were
not saved anywhere, and once you closed the float, you could not re-open such a
group. You had to recreate all floats manually. It would be nice to be able to
open a group of floats.
