Hello, The problem I think you are describing is that gaim will minimise itself to the system tray (or what ever gnome's equivilent is actually called). You can prevent this by deactivating the plugin called something like "system tray" in gaim. I can't remember how to bring the interface back to do that, maybe a reboot and the first time you open it after the computer starts. Also it may work if you remove the gaim settings files (remove the directory ~/.gaim) although I am unsure if that was my solution either. If you still have problems, may be say what instant messenger service you want to use (AIM, MSN Yahoo, etc) as some clients can only connect to one or two of those.
