I sent that email this morning when I noticed it sitting in my outbox for several days.
I figured out part of my problem. I had applied the "remember running applications" in Startup Applications. Now I can clearly tell my script is launching Pidgen because it takes a long time to run. However, sometimes the list appears and sometimes it doesn't. I don't know what is making it show. I'd say it's about 50/50 on startup. When I first booted my Netbook this morning, the Buddy List appeared so the "Disable Buddy List" think is only working occasionally. Any thoughts?
