when he hit the windows close button : hide the chatroom or
leave it ?I guess in this case I'd be more concerned with
consequences rather than
expectations. Not leaving a persistent chat room on close
is something
that users are going to notice sooner or later since the
window is going
to popup again when new messages arrive. If they had wanted
to quit the
room and had closed the window thinking they would, then at
that point
they'll clearly see they are still in.
I understand that and switched back to the previous behavior.
This bring an issue for jabber persistent rooms : once joined, they will always popup at SC startup and there is actually no mean to leave them (will be solved by the quit button).

If however, you close a window thinking you are still in a
room then you
are probably expecting to still receive new messages. In
this case
however there'll be nothing to show you you are actually
out ... unless
maybe a thought a few days later that goes sth like "hey
what happened
to the guy that was supposed to meet me in the room, why
hasn't he
ping-ed me yet?".From a usability point of view - SIP Communicator follows a
"pager"
paradigm, contrary to the one adopted by typical IRC
clients. It's an
application that runs mostly in the background (kind of),
and you are
notified when your attention is needed (e.g. upon an
incoming message).
So from that point of view again, it would probably also
make more sense
for us to give users the opportunity to lurk in chat rooms
in a "page" mode.... and then we could always add a configuration property
that overrides
this behaviour.Am I making sense?
