(As an aside, the display stuff is still the X protocol, but gdm/xdm and I
think kdm use the XDMCP - X Display Manager Client Protocol - to get the
display manager running on the client straight away.)

GAIM is probably a better bet - Gabber relies on the jabber.org servers to
talk to MSN, and they generally don't work. GAIM does all the multiprotocol
stuff locally, and talks MSN, AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, etc.
