Yep. That said, actually, we're rewriting it with detachable front ends, and 
I don't know too much about the GTK one, so we could well be using GTK2. I 
tend to use the raw-command-line one te debug the core.

Nah - EB doesn't use GTK2 (at least, not in release versions - the rewrite's 
GTK front-end might), for exactly the same reasons as Gaim's having these 
problems. They have completely messed up the API for the tree-list controls 
(which, of course, IM programs make heavy use of for contact lists). Gaim 
currently works by using the GTK1 control, which is officially unsupported 
and can break any time :-/

Yeah. The panel thing sounds nasty though :-/

Thankfully, it's SEP. Oh, how I love collaborative development...
