Recently I happened to use the newest adium for few minutes (the time to erase my data from the macosx partition while I'm sending the laptop to repair (more on it once it is back, hoping it is back)

Adium probably is the best IM I ever tried, it works fine, in an unobtrusive way, it has all the gloss you may like (from none, to everything), but has just one defect: works just on macosx (that I don't like that much for developing since I'm not into BDSM).
Now, everybody and his dog knows that adium uses the fine libpurple from the pidgin project, and there is a pretty nice gtk client called pidgin that people usually use...
The problem is that seems that some of its developers spend too much time castrating the UI

NEXT in row: have the chat window unresizable.

PS: no I won't try to hack pidgin, monotone sucks.
