Gaim isn't anywhere close to being a GNOME app?  ;-)  I still find it
annoying that I have to go thru the pain of typing in the command-line
necessary to launch my browser from within GAIM, for example.

There's several other GNOME-based IM clients - one of those if they get
into shape in time would be most excellent to have.

Or get GAIM to have the GNOME-compile-time option again so it integrates
nicely...
