Ah, I hadn't noticed that one. Still, I like having an actual status window in IRC instead of having to open up various IM windows to ChanServ, NickServ, etc. I do like how GAIM handles whois in the Info window though.
Using GAIM, you can install the System Tray Icon and Message Notification plugins, and then you'll have exactly what you want. Works perfectly. Maybe you should try GAIM again, as there's been some changes to the application and the plugins it can use.
I know that's there, and it's not what I want. The system tray icon doesn't catch my attention at all -- a flashing taskbar button does. It still should be something the OS has, regardless.
Oh, and I don't need to "try" GAIM again -- I use it all the time, when I'm in Linux. I just prefer Trillian. GAIM has many things I like, but Trillian just has more.
I agree that GTK is just ugly. Buttons in particular look really bad, regardless of theme. I think the biggest reason GTK is used as often as it is is because of this stigma people have against Trolltech.
Oh, and I'd been wondering about the feasibility of Firebird in QT. If I knew how to code anything beyond simple console programs for the AP test, I'd help out there in a jiffy.
