This approach doesn't solve the problem it's just shifted into a different 
place where I have duplicate the code you've already written. If you provide 
listeners you should do it in a way many listeners can be registered and not 
only one. Have a look a swing's listener code, they use, as far as I could 
see, arrays for managing their action listeners for instance, if one of those 
listeners triggers an action that subscribes a new listener it won't be 
notified of the same event.

But you don't have to change it, if I can rely on the fact that the newly 
registered listener gets the message event at all rates that's fine with me 
too.

This is impossible due to XNap's plugin architecture, I don't directly access 
the gui from the plugin's code, I just register a new JOscarChannel with the 
ChatManager when a user starts talking to us.
