Comment:

 Thanks for the tip on turning off the infopane in conversation windows.
 That's very much appreciated. I had already switched off buddy details in
 the buddy list window. I'm keen to keep the footprint as small a possible
 on my install - it's one of my main reasons for avoiding the proprietary
 IM clients like Yahoo (having multiple IM connections through one client
 is another:-). This is down to using an 'ultra portable' (read small)
 laptop screen at home, and a work policy that tolerates IM but discourages
 it (the more discrete the windows the better, particularly where the boss
 is concerned).

 The buddy list window does seem to have a larger footprint than the
 earlier Gaim releases. It looks like this is primarily down to the size of
 the 'small' icons. From my perspective it would be great to have the
 option of using a smaller custom icon set, and I guess others would like
 the option to add custom icons. Would it be possible to add that to your
 list of feature requests for implementation at some point further down the
 track? Thanks

 > You can turn off the infopane in the preferences, Conversations->Show
 Buddy Details. From the buddy list window Buddies->Show Buddy Details will
 put the buddy list into 'small' mode.
