revert r938d1c08d0d1 in favour of putting it in the chat log. I think this addresses main concern about missing text. There've been complaints in past too about conversation in bubbles not being visible in history. If the objection is that r938d1c08d0d1 offers a more æsthetic solution, I think it should augment this, be flagged, and fix the visual issues first.

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include "mainwindow.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.show();
    return a.exec();
}
