Yes, I took a look at latest Gaim 1.5.0 package from=20
http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-sou=
rce/suse/src/

Novell has no "mating butterflies" because they changed the proxy code.=20
Novell's Gaim package can use GConf's proxy settings.=20

Novell didn't changed "lazy bum". The "feeling a disturbance in the=20
force" isn't in Gaim 1.5.0 because the "psychic" plugin is new in 2.0.

Why do you call Syd Logan a "lazy bum"?

I don't know him personally. But if I look at his homepage I don't think =

he's lazy: http://www.sydlogan.com/index2.html
(Ok, he is a bit lazy with updating his homepage. His email addresses=20
are not valid. :-) )

I attached a list of "lazy bum" translations (current Gaim SVN=20
translations). As you can see the majority of translators skipped "[lazy =

bum]" or leaved it in English. Thanks to the translators which=20
translated "lazy bum". Now we can learn what "lazy bum" means in some=20
non-English languages. :-)
