I've made a tweak to the layout of the Empathy chat window.

The tabs were filling the entire top of the window, which:

 a) is inconsistent with just about every other application[0]

 b) causes people to feel hesitant about making the window wider,
    leading to some odd feedback from my test subjects

If anyone has any particularly strong feelings either way, please let me
know - otherwise if nobody complains too much, I'll submit it upstream
as a patch in a little while.
