Re: ICQ for Gnome

[Aadi <axd1630 bigfoot com>]

I've been hard at work the past couple days on a GTK (not GNOME, yet)
version of ICQ.  
I got the excellent pyGTK package from James Henstridge so i
could prototype the GUI quickly (and then i discovered that someone had
already drafted up a gui)

On the second day, I attempted to send packets (from Python again) to
login but didnt' have much success ............. until 4:30 this morning! 
and i stopped there.

I'd be willing to collaborate also.  I've taken a look at the micq source
to help out a bit.

this prolly wont make the gnome-list (none of my messages ever seem to,
i've stopped trying )
