I'm trying to sell Openfire/Spark to a large group of Yahoo! IM users. This is the ONLY deal-breaker.

there is a patch http://www.igniterealtime.org/community/message/182801#182801
all interested in that feature are welcome to test it. To test that patch you will have to download the Spark source code and apply this diff patch. You can use Netbeans or Eclipse. After testing this patch will be attached here. I will try to collect all the changed libraries and will attach them in this forum thread. This will be easier for people not familiar with the programming to just overwrite some files in their Spark installation.

What about making the option to externalize the tab always available (via a button on the chat window toolbar). And the same with the button letting to put a separate tab to a stack. And the option in the preferences will only turn on the separate windows for the new chats.

This is because maybe one prefer to use tabbed view, but occasionally wants one tab to be a separate one. To do this with the current approach one would need to change the preference twice.
