Yep, good riddance (of the MSN account). I use it for just one contact, so no big deal. If gaim had the support for Yahoo voice chat (like gyach has), it would be perfect.
BTW, gaim is crashing a lot recently (since 0.66), especially when somebody I have buddy pounce on logs out from Yahoo!. Is this a known issue or something MDK special ?

I'm running 0.66 on 9.1 and don't have any problems with that kind of crash. The only time I have Gaim crash is when, for whatever reason, it can't connect to one of it's accounts on AOL, MSN, etc. If I cancel the forever lingering connection try it crashes. Other than that it has been very solid.
I don't know how this would be on Cooker due to my lack of a free machine for testing. I hope to have one freed up soon. I'd like to get a crack at the RCs.
