The GAIM that came with 7.1 does NOT work as it is not configured properly. Also,
I believe it is 0.9.19 and there is a newer version out on their website. Go to
http://www.marko.net/gaim. Click on their "Official FTP Site" and go to the
0.9.20 RPM -- download it and install it. It no longer comes up on your menu but
if you Alt F2 and type in gaim you get it.
