Bingo.  Yup - now I can use it for icq and forget msn until I actually 
need it.  Thanks, Jerry

Gaim 0.71 works well and is a lot less bug prone IMHO. Don't have any trouble 
connecting to MSN or anything else.

The GUI I feel is nowhere near as nice and user friendly is the only observation I 
make after moving from Kopete.

Hi, Lanman.  Yes, I understand that.  I would have liked to keep my 
icq going on kopete, though, but I can't get into it.  I suppose my 
choices are to uninstall, then reinstall, putting in just the icq 
part again, or to use gaim or licq until it's sorted.  Personally I 
wouldn't bother with msn anyway, but it's the only way to get a word 
in edgewise when I need to get a message to the grandchildren

Kopete is working on a new version to fix the problem.

Anyone able to tell me where I can find the config file that sets auto 
connect?  I have not been able to start the program since the 15th, 
as it tries to autoconnect to msn the segfaults.
