It's the other way round...

-desktop contacts are visible always
-if you middleclick on a desktop contact, it hides itself

thats the way Patchou wants to implement it.

This way you have two advatages:
1. you can have desktop contacts always-on-top and never miss a message from a particular person (when being in tabbed mode you don’t know from which user the last message came until you click the tabbed conversation window, for example)
AND
2. they wont lock the access to the screen areas they occupy, because they are hideable by one single middleclick

Hopefully this was understandable...
