-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Finally someone else is having my Gaim buddy list problem. I'm not alone after all. As for Gaim not staying open, it would seem that it may actually be open but your buddy list is closed. You need to alt-control-tab to your top panel and use the keypad keys to find and click on the word "panel". Unfortunately this is all the Gaim icon will say when you hit it with the flat review keys. Then just use the / key on the keypad to click on it. Your buddy list should open up and you should be set to go other than your initial problem of not being able to read it with the arrows. You will still be able to access the buddy list via the flat review keys if you go into the buddies menu and check "show offline buddies". I don't know why this works but it does. Unfortunately you still won't be able to hear anything using the arrow keys. HTH, Lorenzo - -- I've always found anomalies to be very relaxing. It's a curse. - --Jadzia Dax: Star Trek Deep Space Nine (The Assignment) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFUT0FG9IpekrhBfIRArryAJ9mZelglhH50Jl9TZVEWS2sD0RRUwCfejtO rFI+C8d+ORmTYQqyDQiUMM8= =kEm7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
