Having multiple OS Windows would make the Jabber client much more 
useful. Most of the time, you want a small window that stays out of 
your way, just showing the status of the people on your roster. But 
when you get a message you want to open up a larger window for reading 
it, chatting, or whatever.

If you happen to be working in Squeak, you can do this with regular 
Morphic SystemWindows. But if you want to use the Squeak jabbber client 
while using OS-native apps, your Squeak window is either too big or two 
small.
