Umm, just to clear things up here... the so-called ICQ2000 protocol is 
in actual fact Oscar, and that is the exact same prototol for AIM. So 
when you suggest to load the plugin for ICQ you are technically doing 
things the hard way. The fact is that it is now so far that in GAIM you 
do not have to load any plugin for ICQ, as you just add an account using 
the Oscar protocol, but with your ICQ number in the place of your Username.

The plugin should have been removed some time back as it is 
misleading... and although it works (sometimes not too well)) it's 
totally unneccesary.

Hope this helps,

Ralph
