Bug fixed that caused detached tabbed chat windows to disappear.

Tabbed chats are not wrongly resized when closing an active chat containing
an activity.

A "SideBarColor2" registry setting has been added to control the appearance
of the Plus! side bar and the group bar (for tabbed chats). This value is used
in conjunction with "SideBarColor" and should be set by skin installers when
necessary.

Due to many recent error reports related to third party Messenger Plus!
plugins, upgrading from a previous version of Messenger Plus! to this one will
automatically disable every installed plugin in every account. You can then
re-enable the plugins you want to enable, with the knowledge that if a problem
occurs, the plugins are the first things you should try to disable. You are also
encouraged to verify if new versions of the plugins you use are currently
available for the new versions of MSN Messenger.

An important bug was fixed that caused Messenger to crash at startup. This
bug was the result of network monitoring applications (such as firewalls)
installed on some systems that are not using a subclassable hooking mechanism on
Winsock.

Note: the Tabbed Chats feature does not work correctly with WindowBlinds
because of a bug in this software. If you want to use Tabbed Chats and have
WindowBlinds installed, please add Messenger to your exclusion list.

A couple of display glitches have been fixed.
