I don't see anything in the console that might help, let me know if want me to try anything. I am still seeing the group chat windows not appearing properly with this build.

It'd be cool to have a icon/status section of Chax that we could have this feature, modify the status message to show current track info in different ways than the single built-in text (maybe i want artist - title instead of title - artist... or i want a music icon in there with it... or 'now playing...' at the beginning. Also why not expand that to include options for current website in safari, or a link to an applescript? Anyway.. .lots of creative stuff could be done in this area. Oh... and bots. that would be cool too ;-) Not sure if you mind ‘feature requests’ going here, but I really love the other iChat helper prefpane ‘iChartwork’ which puts a small icon of your iTunes artwork in the ichat buddy icon.

When I try to join a chat, the window does not pop up even though it is listed in the Window menu. CLicking on it in that menu does nothing either. The same thing occurs if someone IMs me when I first sign in. This was all working fine before I updated to 1.4.1 a few days ago.

Also, sometimes when someone in my contact list goes online or offline, the Growl message reads "chax_online" or "chax_offline" instead of "$NAME came online/went offline".

Is that something that can bedone through Chax? I think a cool feature would be to be able to set iChat to mobile like you can with AIM. Is that something that can bedone through Chax?
