 space waste... 
 absurd motivation...

I often paste quite large source code snippets in there to show people things.

And I find myself very often write quite extensive natural language expressions just \
to make sure the message can't be misunderstood. Just look at my post above. Quite \
lengthy.

And when working with complicated text, like source code, it is nice to have the same \
width both on the message scroll and the typing area, so I can see what will become. \
(at least in my end of the chat)

When I have several chats open, and I prefer them in separate windows, space is \
really something valuable.

Further, If my vision is a little blurry, I can benefit from larger fonts. And then \
again, it is a waste to have large rectangular areas that the text can't go into.

So I like full-sized buddy icons near the typing area, but I am also against space \
waste. If any text editing widget type would support doing what I suggested in my \
post above, I think it is the best solution. (so far)
