That was more challenging than I thought. It took long time to figure out
why status updates aren't recognized anymore, after you recieved a
message from one contact.
(The rtcom-notification-ui statusbar plugin caused this).
It took long time to find out what happend exactly (The rtcom-notification-ui is closed source).
It took again long time to find out how to prevent this behavrior.

But finally it is working now. More work is to be done, as I don't have many
online contacts, I need some feedback from you.
What statusupdate you would like to see. Message about

-users going online?
-change statusmessage?
-go offline?

At the moment the notification shows this yellow bubble when a user changes the status.
I configured the notification to autodisappear after six seconds, that way it doesn't show the yellow
notification window in the task switcher view. I don't think we need this window, as long as
we only want to see this yellow bubble.

Vibration and/or Led-notification support?
What to do when the screen is blanked, turn on the display or skip
the notification?
