Gosh, I don't know what heading this item would come under , except
it's a nice option if it can be done... er, re-phrasing, I *know* it
can be done, it was done a million years ago when OS/2 was still sold
under that name... but I have a couple of channels I always log into (
onto?) and it would be nice if I could have the Konversation program do
that automagically, as it can do now, for one channel. Alternative
would be to have a list of channels I can add to on the top menu, where
I can then login w/ a clickety click...  nevermind the groans there you
cli guys, if I wanted to do everything that way I would be using
irissi, no? ;^)

Actually, what I quite like about Konversation is it's nice clean look,
I wish I could separate the channels into separate windows rather than
having tabs... it's just easier for me to monitor w/ a quick glance ...
but long ago I realiszed that some one saw an Icq program that had all
the windows  open in one large-ish window, and I think, perhaps tabs
really are an improvement on that. 

It is a pity there is no paypal outlet in Russia, I made a donation to
the Freenode Nonprofit thru them, and one doesn't actually have to have
an account w/ them, just to send money every now and then. 

Although the "I'll pay X amount to the devloper who creates Y feature"
might be encouraging, Maybe better a fee for being on the  "advisory
board" for the development of Konversation??  That has a bit of a
"cool" factor that can't be denied. Tshirts, "golf shirts" , etc. w/
some sort of registered Konversation Advisory Board logo.... ( and in
secret, for those who actually pay money to the development, a number
or secret password, or silly joke that only the real Advisory board
members know.. ) 

After all no point in keeping someone who wants to buy the tshirt, and
support that way from sending in the money. I do not know if the
companies which do that actually are a good deal for the people who use
them. As I understand it, someone from the group creates the design and
says what they want it on,  tshirts, mugs, and I don't know what
else... and they handle the rest of the trasnactions, including getting
the money to the developers...

However, that is just a thought off the top of my head, and probably
isn't even a very good one... 

Still, keep up the work on the program, I'm sure we will find some way
to support you ... at least as well as 10-12 people who have talked
here already can do...
