If you want to hear what's going on in each group chat session, then 
yes.  Actually this behavior exists today with the exception of the 
first IM.  After that, you need to leave the tab open to hear chatter.

You can actually "arrow over" to see more of your tabs without needing 
to increase the window size (I think).  Or alternatively changes could 
be made so that the "new IM" button appears if you receive an IM and 
your communication window isn't opened or maximized (just throwing that 
idea out there)
