           Summary: Support closing multi-user chat channels without leaving
                    the room
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-spec
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: will.thompson at collabora.co.uk
            Blocks: 24273


There are two main use cases for Close() on a MUC not actually leaving the
room:

• If Empathy crashes, MC calls Close() on all channels it was handling. I'd
rather not leave all the channels on my IRC proxy when that happens. (This is
Idle bug #24273.)
• Marco is in an XMPP MUC with three of his friends, who sporadically discuss
Aqua. He doesn't want to have the conversation window open constantly,
cluttering his desktop, but wants to be in the room in case someone says
something.

If we make Close() not actually leave the room (depending on RemoveMembers()
for that) it needs to be opt-in until Telepathy 1.0. Rob suggests adding a
property for this behaviour which could be requested, or set by the handler.
