using Kopete as my IM client

I have been using Kopete as my IM client, but I have found that it seems to be a major memory hog and everytime I try to close it (i.e. exit the program) it crashes on me. And I mean literally everytime.

 

Has anyone else noticed this or experienced this behaviour?

 

So what do people find works the best for IM (aim, msn, jabber, etc) in terms of resources and stability?

I tried using Gaim with MSN and got disconnected due to an unsupported protocol error. I realize that as of Oct 15, Microsoft supposedly had stopped accepting any other client other than their own. However, kopete had managed to find a way around this.

 

Has anyone been able to get Gaim to work with MSN in the last few weeks?

Which mandrake version are you using now? If you are using 9.2, someone here posted that he/she created gaim .71 rpms for mandrake 9.2 a while back. His/her website is located at http://mircea.interplus.ro/ftp/ultraupdates . Note that you have to install gaim and libgaim-remote rpms.

 

If you are using 9.1.. the rpms in http://gaim.sourceforge.net should suffice.
