+===============

+If true, and the XMPP server on which the current user is logged in supports
+multi-user chat, then a list of rooms on that server will be fetched.

+Not recommended for servers with lots of chat rooms.
+
+For each room on the server a query is made to fetch further details (e.g.
+features, number of occupants etc.), so on servers with many rooms this
