IM window behavior, no-mod-object renaming

I've got some ideas for features I'd much appreciate:

- In my opinion the tabs of the IM-Window should be detachable, so that one could have multiple chat sessions and/or the online status of friends open at the same time. Then the IM windows should also be minimizable.
Another thing would be to colorize the own messages to help seeing new messages. Most IRC-clients do that. It's hard to read when the whole text is plain white.

- The user should be able to at least assign a different local name to non-modifiable objects in the inventory because many objects got names that don't describe them well. This makes it hard to keep the inventory clean and nice. When given away, the local name can be discarded. It could possibly also show up as "Local Name (Original Name)" in the inventory.

- Support for keyboard layouts other than U.S. would be great!

- Now that we got partners, I'd appreciate permissions for placed objects in a way that the partner has full permissions as well. This might be a harder task though.

A joint inventory between partners would be cool.

Another idea would be to allow groups to have inventories.

I myself have been in favor of pooled inventories for Groups for some time.

I was convinced it'd be a good idea after seeing the texture boxes at Gibson and wondering, "Hmmm... if these cyberpunks could share the bits-n-pieces of their cities, wouldn't we all be better off?" :)
