Notification balloons enhancements

Description (last modified by amroth) (diff)

The balloons at the moment do not support emoticons: They are displayed as their text shortcut. So if you receive a MSN smiling face, it'll show up in the balloon as << Contact says: ':)'>> .

Finally, there is some problem related with the balloon display by the KDE side. When the anchor point of the balloons reach out over the half of the screen in which the KMess tray is, balloons gets displayed on the other side of the anchor point, event which causes two balloons to overlap. You can try it easily, set the baloon time to a big number, and wait: eventually there will be a lot of balloons displayed at once, and the first one which gets an anchor point beyond half of the screen, will overlap the previous one.

This is without any doubt intended balloons behavior; but we should find some way to avoid it.

Removed the part about suggesting to add a status icon, since i've just committed it. Also removed the part about the complaints we've received for the balloons' size: i've reduced that.
