[Bug 633817] Re: Gwibber integration with Messaging Menu should be more mailbox-like
Actually Replies and Private aren't subsets of Messages. If you click
on Messages, you will see the Messages stream which doesn't include
Replies and Private. The Home stream includes everything, which is
probably not obvious.
Perhaps clicking on the main entry in the indicator should display the
Home stream and zero all the counters.

Title:
Gwibber integration with Messaging Menu should be more mailbox-like
Status in Gwibber:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Sorry for the strange title, I couldn't find better words.
Currently, the Gwibber integration with the Messaging Menu is very IM-like, with per-message entries appearing when received. According to the specification in [1], explained further by Matthew Paul Thomas in [2], the behavior is supposed to be more mailbox-like, with permanent per-stream entries and unread counts.
This, of course, creates the problem of choosing which streams to appear in the Messaging Menu. I personally suggest creating entries in the Menu corresponding to those streams that Gwibber is currently showing in its multi-column view.
Also, to make the MM more useful, it would also be interesting to highlight the unread posts of the corresponding stream if Gwibber is opened via one of those stream indicators (just like a mail client highlights the unread messages in bold). In [3] Mark suggested dimming the read messages. They could stay dimmed until the next time Gwibber refreshes or its unfocused.
