Both of those replies were on topic.  So was the other reply I sent to
your message.  A reply that does not support your point is not
off-topic.

The fact that Gaim is not a GNOME app, or a KDE app, or a Windows app,
or whatever, is in fact important; it means that if we identify a
behavior in an environment which we believe is a flaw in the
environment itself, we don't necessarily deal with it within Gaim.  In
this case, there may be a usability issue that we want to deal with,
but it needs to be separated from any substandard environment-specific
concerns.
