GAIM question

2001-01-11 Thread Thomas R. Shannon
This may be off topic here but is anyone using gaim? I don't seem to be able to use the search tool. The dialogs are OK but my searches always come up empty. For instance, I can't even find myself when I plug in my own name, let alone anyone else. Is there some trick to getting it to work?

I've looked through the man page and I just can't find how to do this. I'd like to start a command in a new terminal, let's say for instance: xterm -e ps aux | grep emacs and then leave the terminal open so that I can view the results of the command and any error messages. Thanks in advance,
