MUC is 'multi user chat' or 'multi user conference' (or something like that, 
I'm bad with acronyms). A chat room service.

There is a plugin for that on jabberd1.4 that can also be compiled for 
jabberd2.

However, [Tomasz], I have a similiar problem and I don't think MUC is the 
solution for it. I move from one computer to the next, and I'd like to be 
logged in in all of them, so I don't have to fall back to the highest 
priority resource whenever I hear a "new message's beep". Web based clients 
would also benefit from this - its useful to receive the message on both the 
web client(s) and the hard one (specially combined with the above 
scenario), . And I'd like all my users to benefit from this as well. Gtalk 
does this already.

When you say "this is how it is designed" do you mean the jabber protocol? 
What's the current behavior if two resources specify the same priority? Would 
it be too complex (from both the programming perspective or the 
protocol-specification) to allow a client to specify that it will only 
receive copies of the message?

Cheers!
