They can close their chat window when they are done reading. The program stays running. They can even close the roster window. To exit spark you need to choose to exit spark from the roster Spark menu. You can turn off chat history in the preferences of the spark client. Some users may want the history for reference, or if they accidentally close a chat window. Getting rid of the icons is not so simple. You would need to compile a custom version of spark.
