I have ICQ on all the time also, most the time I have it minimized and
the contacts I talk to are "floating",  that way I can access them without
the screen being up..  I also do not use the snap-to function, simply
because
it takes up realestate.. and I don't like anything taking up realestate.
So when I pop up the box it is floating over the top of my other windows.
But my box is always minimized..  I just float who I need to talk to.  I
would
rather have a 77 x 22 pixel icon on the screen than that big old ICQ box.
