Understood, but I encountered another problem that you might
want to think about.  There were a couple of times when I was
typing something into Jabber (via Meetecho) when the session
ended.  That resulted in the screen, and Jabber session,
abruptly clearing, so I couldn't finish the message for the
Jabber log, copy the partially-finished one so I could later
send something similar in email, or otherwise salvage what had
been typed already.  I don't have suggestions other than maybe
keeping the Jabber window/link open for several minutes after
the meeting ends and/or putting up an "about to go down, save
work if you want it" warning with a bit of delay, or something
of that nature.  I'd simply run a session with a separate Jabber
client, but that introduces some extra synchronization problems.
