Two Questions

[Michael Secord]

By default the config is in (XP at least): C:\Documents and 
Settings\<user>\Application Data\.gaim and in *nix its ~/.gaim/

As for Gaim 1.5, I'm not 100% sure.  Please reply all when you reply so 
the entire mailing list gets your reply and someone with more 
information can help also.
