I would prefer this, with an option to enable logging via a checkbox on
the conversation window unless a preference for "never log OTR
conversations" is set. Ideally the preference would allow Log OTR
conversations? [Yes/No/Never] with No being the default on both Windows
and Linux.

That's quite neat, but assumes that everyone always has the same needs
for logging when using OTR. This is not necessarily the case.
