Abstract
A user is notified of activity in an instant messaging session by receiving a selection input signal from a selection device. When the selection input signal is received, a minimized chat window is detached from a task bar and moved to a position on a display indicated by the selection input signal. A slot is displayed in the detached chat window for each open instant messaging session.
