So, I've decided to jump back onto IM after a few years. My last
Linux-based IM client was AYTTM, but I'm not even sure it's still
packaged with Fedora, although I suppose I could "roll my own" so to
speak. :D I'd prefer to use a pre-packaged IM client.
I've tried Pidgin, but I'm having a problem where if I change my
status to "away" it freezes out the keyboard and won't let me type
anything until I close Pidgin and start it back up.
I currently use LXDE and KDE. Anyone got a suggestion for a good
multi-protocol IM client? I used to use Trillian on the Windows side
of things, but I try to stay away from Windows as much as possible. :D
Thanks!
I know exactly what bug you're talking about, I noticed it appeared a
few revisions ago. If you're not afraid of using out-of-date code
(supposedly new code has security fixes), you can download an older
version of Pidgin from http://koji.fedoraproject.org
The bug also has a workaround -- if you can use your mouse to click a
top menu item, everything goes back to normal.
