I did have a problem at some point with iChat. When I was selecting the buddy list from the menu extensions, the application wasn't launched anymore. After reading some newsgroups, I found out that the file 'com.apple.FCacheUserDomain' in Library/Caches was corrupted some how. I did remove the file and then iChat was working fine again. That might not be your problem, but you might want to give it a try. There are quite a few files in there and since they are caches, I don't think it would harm if you removed them from the folder. Don't throw them away, just move the out.
