I'm using GAIM 0.9.10 on my work machine.. It works fine for me.
I had problems with previous versions locking up while trying to connect,
but thats because my work machine was behind a firewall and versions of GAIM
prior to 0.9.9 did not work well with a proxy or firewall.
Are you running one of the more current versions or an older version?
