[OTR-users] Gaim-OTR - OTR-Menu in chat window

[Peter Albrecht]

Hi!

  I started to use the OTR-plugin (v3.0.0)
with Gaim (v1.5.0) today and it works great!
But as always I discovered a little issue
which could make the plugin a bit more
perfekt (for me). ;)

  The buttons at the bottom of my chatwindows
are disabled, because they were of no use for
me. And I like to keep interfaces as simple
and small as possible.

  Interface -> Conversations:
     Show buttons as: None

  But now the OTR-plugin placed his essential
indicating- and controling-button next to
those. And it would break my heart to enable
all those buttons, I would never use, just to
have this single OTR-button at hand. Although
there are possibilities to disable those
buttons (via plugins), there would still
remain the lower bar, with nothing in it
except the one OTR-button. And this would
look very strange, too. ;)

  In order to resolve this conflict (of
mine), I would be very glad have the
funktionality of the OTR-button available
through a menu at the top of the chat window.
Next to "Conversation", "Options" and "Send As".

  I don't know, if I am the only one with
such strange wishes. And I don't know how
much work this would be. But I think it is
worth to at least talk about it. ;)
