Ooh, if you're using Gaim that comes with RH8, go grab the newest RPM on
http://gaim.sf.net/. That one with RH8 was part of the 0.59.x series. Almost all of the code and all of the UI has been rewritten in 0.60, and we're now up to 0.64. Give it a shot
0.65 will be very cool. I'm rewriting the internals and several UI elements. Core/UI-split goodness!
