Remove Gmail Chat Popups
Garett Rogers saves the day by hacking up a Greasemonkey script which disables the annoying new “chat” popups in Gmail. These are small DHTML layers that appear in Talk-enabled Gmail accounts whenever you happen to hover over a person’s name... which happens a lot more than you might think.

In the meantime I hope the Gmail team disables this feature, or finds a better, less noisy way to integrate it.
