Summary

Gaim allows you to talk to anyone using a variety of messaging

protocols, including AIM (Oscar and TOC), ICQ, IRC, Yahoo!,

MSN Messenger, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, Napster, and Zephyr. These

protocols are implemented using a modular, easy to use design.

To use a protocol, just add an account using the account editor.

Gaim supports many common features of other clients, as well as many

unique features, such as perl scripting and C plugins.

Gaim is NOT affiliated with or endorsed by America Online, Inc.,

Microsoft Corporation, or Yahoo! Inc. or other messaging service

providers.

This fixes the crash in the Gadu Gadu protocol, and makes Yahoo file

transfer and buddy icons work for the more common non-proxy case.

Unfortunately this probably breaks the less common proxy case.
