Pete, Very cool on two points. I'm very interested in seeing how you go about working around the problems I ran into. My interest in this was not only to get Kinkatta working as I know a lot of folks using AIM, but to also get some learning into how to get many more KDE ports done up. Going into it I was thinking that it was a simple enough app to at least get my feet wet. Secondly, I really wanna get Kinkatta working here :) Definitely looking forward to your commit.
