That last point in Karel's long e-mail, just makes the most sense of all. And, as a consequence, I think, the way Youness proposed would be the best way to show an FT. Just a simple line per FT above the button bar in the CW. Clicking it might cause some FT manager with more detailed info to pop up in any way (a separate window would be best I think). In this case, there is no such problem as 'loosing the FT window among all other windows', because the FT window is not necessarily there when an FT is going on, but just when the user asks for it. Also, when it is open already, and the user clicks some FT in any CW, the FT window should just raise to front (and not open a second one). This way, I think it would be perfectly usable.
Btw. keep in mind that closing a CW should not stop any FT. So, there should be another way of opening the FT window than only through clicking an FT in a CW. Also when a conversation with the same contact is openend again, while the FT is still going on, that FT should appear in the CW again!!!
