wine_and_women, My reply is off-topic to Wine, but it may help. If you can live without some of the MySpace IM features, "Pidgin" works great with MySpace IM as a chat client. I did have to run the windows installer (on a winows machine) once for my buddies to show, but I'm sure you've done that already. (Alternately you're supposed to be able to do Accounts --> MySpace --> Add friends from MySpace.com) In Linux, I just clicked it from the drop-down in Pidgin. Account --> Manage --> Add --> MySpace IM. The MySpace plug-in is now built in to Pidgin and seems to be getting better and better (it used to be a little buggy). If you are running SuSE (I think I read that on a previous post of yours) Pidgin may already be installed, their site is here: http://pidgin.im/download/ It also works with Yahoo, AIM, Google Talk and a whole bunch more. At work I just got it to work with Microsoft Communicator! Add me if you'd like to test it, just search for "pentajock". -Tres -- - Tres.Finocchiaro@xxxxxxxxx
