-Q:	Is there a Gaim tray icon, or docklet, or gnome applet, or panel icon,
-or <i>some</i>thing?
+Q:	Can I turn the tray icon off?
 
-A:	Yeah, Gaim supports what is called a system tray icon that conforms to
-the standards at
-<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/">www.freedesktop.org</a>.
-This tray icon is supported by Windows, KDE 3.1, Gnome 2.2, and Red Hat
-Gnome 2.0.  All you have to do is load the "System Tray Icon" plugin by
-going to Preferences and then Plugins.
-<p>
- If you're using Gnome you need to make sure that your panel has a
- Notification Area on it.  To add one, right click on the panel,
- select Add To Panel-&gt;Utility-&gt;Notification Area.  Gaim will
- insert the tray icon in any System Tray implementation that conforms
- to these standards, so feel free to write one for your window manager
- of choice.
-</p>
-<p>
- Due to a flaw in these specs, KDE users may experience trouble with the
- background color of the docklet.  There is unfortunately nothing we can
- do about this.
-</p>
+A:	Sorry, no.  The tray icon will load if you have a Notification Area.
 
 Q:	What do those colors in the conversation tab mean?

+Q:	Why are no states listed when I go to set a state for Auto Away?
 
+A:	Gaim can only use saved states for this feature.  You need to create

 Q:	Can I use AIM URI's such as "aim:goim?screenname=robflynn"?
 
-A:	Yes, with Gaim 0.60 and higher, but it can be difficult to set up.  You
-need to pass the entire URI to the gaim-remote program (included with
-gaim).  To do this with Gnome 2, run gnome-file-types-properties or "File
-Types and Programs" from the preferences menu.  Add a service with protocol
-"aim" and set the program to <code>gaim-remote uri "%s"</code>.  This will
-make AIM URIs work in Galeon 2.  Also, not all types of AIM URI's are
-supported.  The ones that <i>are</i> supported are goim, addbuddy, and
-gochat.

- You'll need a version of gaim compiled with dbus support for this to work.

-<p>
- If you use wingaim, this will not work as gaim-remote has not yet been ported

+A:	Yes, you need to register gaim-url-handler in your browser.  This
+requires that Gaim be built with dbus support.
