AHH gotcha.. ok... :)  And yes, when using the IRC proto, having a tabbed 
interface is even more important. ;)  Imagine having about 5 channels open 
and then 3 seperate IM convos... Then tabbed interface is REAL important. :D

Hmm... is there a todo somewhere that I can look at?  And is the IRC port to 
KMM due for 0.4 or beyond?

Yes, that's VERY VERY ugly.. :D  I'm not sure how gaim did it but... ;)  I 
also know that they want to do a complete API rewrite but they've been saying 
that for a WHILE now.. ;)

AHH gotchas... Ok... And you're right, this is the least important.. :D  Right 
now, the thing that would let me throw gaim away completely would be if I 
could have multiple accounts per protocol.. ;)  Once that's up and running... 
YAH... complete dockable IM application. :D
