Re: [PLUG] gaim-kit-aim

[JP Toto <viceclown@yahoo.com>]

I use gaim in KDE all the time and it doesn't seem to hog much in the 
way of resources. You just need gtk installed - not full blown gnome. I 
would try Kinkatta for a full kde AIM client. It works really great and 
while it doesn't (last time I checked) get buddy lists from the server, 
it has an import utility to get saved lists from gaim, aim, and a few 
others. Definitely recommended. The only reason I stick with gaim is 
that it has pluggins for MSN. YMMV but definitely try out kinkatta:
