Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?
Would love it if the info panel were always visible, so that the moment I join a NEW room its already open, preferrably listing whos in the room, and their online status.

#### Why would you like to do it?
this makes it easier to see whos in the room and online

#### How would you like to achieve it?
maybe some default settings for my user (something like always show info panel, with dropdown of the category, I would choose people.) Would also really like it if i could pick the size, I normally shrink it down as far as it goes, that gives me a quick overview of whos there without it taking up much space.

### Have you considered any alternatives?

Well pidgin gives me a user list, and its not horrible, but I really do like element better, just really miss my easy user list with displayed online status and X number of minutes idle, etc.
