Re: GAIM

I wish I could agree. One of the most common problems with *IX-developed applications that rely on X is that their authors have absolutely no idea what the "U" in UI stands for.

Also, if you read their Windows port page, you'll find all sorts-of general idiocy, involving blaming buggy DLLs and yadda yadda for what actually look to be bugs with the (absolutely horrid) Win32 port of GTK. All of this cross-platform voodoo could be circumented if X programmers began using wxWindows, sigh...
