I'm not sure what you mean. I know that you can collapse these messages but 
last time I tried as soon as I got a new message they all were "decollapsed" 
and at that point they already used more space than was available on my 
screen.

Just try it -- if you haven't already -- the term they use is imo not 
accurate.
Here (1-2 weeks old kopete) the message window is opened in the background so 
focus is _not_ taken away. It flashes in the task bar indicating that 
something has changed and that's it.

So imo less intrusive than what happens with the current defaults.

Yes that would be probably a better solution, but I'm not sure if someone will 
manage that for 4.2 while changing the defaults close before the release could 
be accomplished if the experience then is still not that perfect.
