I think it\'s under the globe icon.  FYI, if you\'re trying to do anything with Yahoo it\'s not working.  Yahoo changed some stuff earlier in the month and all the Gaim stuff started failing (desktop & zaurus versions).  There is a partial fix for the desktop version but nothing that I\'ve seen for the Z version.

Where is the globe icon?  I dont have any icons when I run gaim.  It just starts up with no menu whatsoever.

Got this from Tumnus:  (Run this as root)
Code: [Select]
ln -s /home/QtPalmtop/lib/libqte.so.2.3.2 /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0

Here\'s the thread where Tumnus originally posted it (page 2 half-way down):
http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...&highlight=gaim

I\'ve actually stored this line of code in a note in the Notes application because this link keeps on getting reset.  I\'m thinking that the file gets re-linked when other files are installed.  I\'ve had it get dropped several times and got tired of trying to find this thread so I just keep it locally on the Z.

I had to rm the existing libpng12.so.0 to get that above code to work but it\'s restored all the icons. Great stuff
