OK, this is starting to annoy me. I've got Gaim installed and working fine (in SuSE9.0). The annoying thing is that when it's running, it pops open at random. No one I have in my list is currently online, yet Gaim (running in the background, and shows up as an icon in the Kicker panel) keeps opening up and taking priority over whatever app I'm working in.

Anyone have this happening? Know how to make it stop popping up? I can't find the option that makes it do this. I don't mind if it pops up when there is an event, but... when nothing is going on... ???

I am fully able to reliably reproduce your problem with gaim 0.75. Here is how it can be reproduced with no one going online/offline and nothing in gaim set to make it popup: K menu -> Control Center -> Desktop -> Taskbar Then toggle ANY setting on that panel and gaim will popup when you hit "Apply" even when nothing told it to do that and no other program pops up as a result. I've had this popup thing occur even when not even in the control center but in other apps, but I couldn't remember exactly what I was doing at the time when this occurs and haven't been able to figure out how to get gaim to not popup. Also, if any of you have the jabber client named "psi" installed, you can cause gaim to popup by changing a setting in that program. In its "Options," and in the "Application" section, toggle the "Enable docklet" option then hit "Apply" and gaim pops up when you do that also. Why it does is beyond me.
