When closing IM windows on MSN, don't release the switchboard connection immediately, let it timeout peacefully. This will prevent incorrect errors about messages being unable to be sent if the user closes the window before we receive the ACK about the sent message. It will also totally mess up any client that tries to show "User has closed the conversation window" type messages, but they have *never* been accurate anyway. Fixes #241
