I'm running a plain vanilla compiled (by me) 7.5 version of GAIM. My problem is that at different times, either immediately or after a bit of time, GAIM will just "lock up", stop accepting messages, stop refreshing and gray out for no apparent reason. (I compile it as I'm using GAIM-Encryption and prefer to stay up to date with GAIM releases.) This has been happening for me on and off since I moved to FC1. Any ideas? A shot in the dark, but could this at all be related to sound? I'm testing a possible correlation when using XMMS, etc. cjs
