Add a new WM, irssi. Put the wm's in $(libdir)/gnt instead of in /finch. The features of the irssi WM include: 1. Buddylist and conversation windows are borderless and full height of the screen. 2. Conversation windows will have (full-screen-width - buddylist-width) width - It's possible to auto-resize the conversation windows when the buddylist is closed/opened/resized to keep this always true. But resizing the textview in conversation window is rather costly, especially when there's a lot of text in the scrollback. So it's not done yet. 3. All the other windows are always centered.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
