You really have no idea of what you are talking about, have you? Have you
missed the AOL litigation because of a *name*?

Next, you are going to suggest that the Pidgin developers steal the sounds
from the official clients too, as the users are already familiar with them.
While we are at it, let's steal the rest of the artwork too, I am sure the
companies will be pleased.

So sit down, evaluate the consequences of the changes you are proposing and
only then post.
