Actually, if you use the privacy protection feature, it takes the contacts off the desktop. True, you won't know if you've gotten a message until you unlock Messenger, but it works if you don't care about missing messages (since you probably wouldn't want to be bothered while fullscreen anyway). However, I still agree that it would be a nice feature to have, just in case you go fullscreen but still want to be able to receive messages and all.
