WinRoll: Collapse Your Programs Like Google Talk

One of the coolest, and probably unknown, features in Google Talk is the ability to click on the title bar of a chat window and to have it collapse. It doesn't exactly minimize the window but makes it smaller so that you reclaim your desktop space but you can also easily re-open the chat.
