    Am I the only one who is still getting random lockups in Beta 5 for Win32? After a random amount of time, sometimes hours sometimes minutes, if I keep the buddy list up or a new window pops, and it sits there for a while, Gaim plain old locks up. The buddy list or whatever window is open refuses to repaint, turns either solid black or white, and thats it. I have to task manager it closed. Sometimes it is nice enough to crash by itself. I'm guessing this is a GTK issue, and I've uninstalled/reinstalled GTK numerous times. If anyone has had this bug and fixed it, any ideas would be great.

      im getting this too. i start the program and i have to wait between 5 and 10 mins before i can do anything. really really frustrating. when i finally get in, all my msn accounts are not logged in (if that might help anyone who has any ideas). this bug is very close to the line of making this version unusable :(

      This happens to me, too.  I'm not getting the freeze ups within minutes, but it happens overnight, or when I leave the computer all day and come back.  I don't have to stop the process to close it because quitting from the tray icon works.  Occasionally before I quit the program it crashes completely on its own.

      I encouter this as well, ever since the 2.0.0 beta 3.

      It seems that it only get locks up when my status is "available."  In other word, if i am "away," i am fine.

      while I experience lock up, the lock up i experience is mosly in the order of minutes, not hours.

      2.00.b4 brought my PC to a halt.  2.00.b5 becomes unresponsive apparently after it goes into "away" status.

      I fixed this by changing from the WIMP theme to the Bluecurve theme. No lockups at all now.
