Thanks.

You know you can set the tab to appear at any window border and the contact
label text automatically shrinks to save room for other tabs? Removing the
close icon will not save that much space and the contact name can shring to the
size of a icon.

If your chat window is longer at the vertical axis you can set it to be at left
(or right) position instead of top.

The attached patch lets you remove the contact label and close button. They are
still enabled by default though. After applying the patch against Kopete and
recompiling it you just need go to menu -> Configurations -> Configure -> Chat
window -> Tabs and uncheck the two checkboxes. You will have to close all chat
windows and reopen them for the new settings to take effect.

KDE is in message freeze state now, which means I need permission to add new
strings to the kopete's source code, which is the case of this patch. I will
contact the translation team and see if I can commit this patch. If not then it
will appear only in KDE SC 4.8.0.
