I think this is a bit overkill.  But I do like the idea of having the number of 
unread messages in the title.

Perhaps something like "[nn] John Doe", with the "[nn]" part removed as soon as 
the window/tab becomes focused.  (And I do think this behavior should be an 
option -- but a checkbox is better than a whole new config pane.)

On a semi-related note, I've also patched my Kopete locally to take out the " 
(Online)" " (Away)" nonsense.  That information is already present in the 
protocol icon, and it inflates the window/tab titles with redundant information 
(such that the tab bar becomes unusably wide if you have more than maybe two 
tabs).
