I've been using gaim since . . . well, a really long time and I've only
had it lose my settings once, and that was when upgrading from one CVS
version to another, so that doesn't really count ;-)  Of course, if I'd
bothered to read the commit messages beforehand, I would have seen a
warning about such things anyway, if I remember correctly (it was a long
time ago).  Suffice it to say, gaim has never lost my settings when it
wasn't my fault anyway ;-)
