 > Hi I have multiple accounts,

 > i add a icon and it adds it to a different account....i cant figure out
 any pattern it seems totally random...when i add a icon for an account
 sometimes it doesn't update, other times it replaces an icon on a
 different account, sometimes the icon disapears totally. I thought perhaps
 because the icons had the same name (but in different folders) was why it
 was happening but that didn't help...anyways here's a screenshot. In the
 accounts the icons show correctly, but in message conversations they dont
 and when i mouse over my chat names it shows the wrong icons.
 > I tried going into msn to change them and that works, but when i go back
 into gaim and change other accounts it somehow gets changed to a different
 icon associated with a different account.

 > I have not had it replace icons on different protocols like choosing a
 AIM icon and having it replace MSN, but I have 4 msn accounts and the
 icons are displaying ones for other accounts....see screenshot

 > On a side not I'm also noticing that "Alias" thing for accounts doesn't
 work either. It works for me but the people im writing to see my email
 (ive only tested it in msn though)

 how to explain what it's doing...I can only describe it as musical chairs.

 EDIT: it seems after 20 or so minuted the icons changed to the correct
 thing, but its still strange that it mixed up my MSN icons when changing
 them, it wasnt just cosmetic because people I was talking to saw the wrong
 icon as well...and I'm not sure why my screenshot didnt upload...weird
