Installed it but can not get it to start. Any ideas?

This is much better than the previous veriosn

a few issues:
1. I can't use the Full Screen mode
2. I don't know how to configure it to open links in my browser
3. Changing a buddies alias is really difficult in the buddy list
4. I had one crash. 2 tabs open, was busy tapping in my message when I received another message. I have sounds on and it seemed to choke while trying to play the incoming sound and the 'tap' sound of the stylus keypad at the same time.
5. Arrgh - it just crashed again while keypad was open and I received a message

other than the 2 crashes - I really like it

I'm having trouble getting it to minimise to system tray :S

To answer my own question about getting the debug window to stop opening when GAIM opens:

i edited /home/user/.gaim/preferences.xml (or something similar, maybe prefs.xml), and where i found debug in the file, i set the value to "0" instead of "1". That fixed this for me. Hope that will help someone else out there, if anyone winds up accidentallly pressing the debug menu item and can't get the window to stop covering up all other windows.

Tried it on my N800 now with the latest firmware and it worked great. Alot better than the old gaim 1.5 port.

Updated to the new version (2.0.0-0nix18) just now. hopefully, this one has some crashes fixed.

I need to find out how to get the browser to work though...

second edit:
this is the string that works for the browser

Code:

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.osso_browser /com/nokia/osso_browser com.nokia.osso_browser.load_url string:%s

string for a new browser window?

Code:

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.osso_browser /com/nokia/osso_browser/request com.nokia.osso_browser.open_new_window string:%s

Same problem here. Completely uninstalled all old app components. Deleted old and added new Maemo Hackers repository. Installed app, localization, and AIM. Program will not launch.

Anything I might have missed?

Thanks!

Newbie here. Can anybody explain how to install Gaim 2.0 on my N800? Or is it not ready for newbies yet? I know nothing of linux. I want to use it only for Yahoo.
