BAD, BAD idea to add a $nick\n$psm to the global nickname! First: the \n appears even if there is no psm set.
Second: the state appears on the new line. Third: imagine opening a chatwindow with that contact..... So I prefer to completely drop the idea, sorry Youness. Karel talked about a check if the \n is the last character, but chatwindows will still look UGLY. I'm thinking about adding maybe a "PSM Options" section to the Appearance tab, with 1) "Global / custom nicknames override PSM" 2) "Show PSM on a new line" and maybe 1-2 more. I can code it just by myself so don't worry, but I really see no other solution (Yes, I prefer PSMs on a new line too!)
