Re[2]: GtkICQ -> Gnome Communicator

[richard harding southsomerset gov uk]

     I thought that ICQ was meant to sound like I Seek You ( best said 
     after 5 pints of guiness to get the effect :) )
     
     My vote is for GCQ ;)

Hmm.  Sounds like "Netscape Communicator".
     
How about The Chat Program for Internet People, or TCPIP.
     
GCQ?  What does ICQ stand for, anyway? :)
     
Ideas could go along the lines of:
  - broadcasting, yelling, shouting etc
  - pick an acronym and put some words around it :) like GROQ, or
    GHONE (pun on phone).
     
Or stick two words together, like Gnommunicate.
