I don't use KDE either :), but thanks, that works fine for me in XFCE. I
guess I was so annoyed by seeing the gnome panel pop up the first time I
looked at gnomeicu, that between that and being pretty happy with licq I
didn't bother seeing if it had any command line options for not docking in
the panel. Thanks again for bringing that to my attention.

My GUESS would be no, but I don't use AIM and never have so I don't know.
If ICQ functionality is not readily apparently in the program or
documentation then I doubt it's there.
