I did use it, but it allready was buggy without qt-3.1 There is one bug that I |
| 20 |
reported at least 5 months ago including a fix that involved reading messages |
| 21 |
send by the yabber icq conduit. It is still not fixed in cvs. I believe this |
| 22 |
project is dead. In the mean time I switched, as kxicq is basically dead. It |
| 23 |
does have one usefull feature though in being able to use server based friend |
| 24 |
lists. |
