Hmm. After all, LimeWire is an open source project, and the development 
process seems to be open for external developers. So wouldn't it be 
theroretically possible for gtk-gnutella developers (if someone is 
willing to invest time into understanding LimeWire's code) to submit a 
small patch whenever such a (hopefully easy-to-fix) serious problem is 
dicovered? Or at least lobby the LimeWire developers into fixing the 
problem themselves?

I mean, philosophically, one could interpret that as an investment into 
gtk-gnutella, because also gtk-gnutella users would profit from other 
clients being non-broken.

Just my random thought reflex, completely theoretical...
