you're hosed.
+7.4 How do I use invisibility?
+
+ Jabber invisibility support is available in Gaim version 0.60 and later.
+
+ There are two ways to use Jabber invisibility: on a per-buddy and on a
+ per-server basis.
+
+ To use per-buddy invisibility: right-click on the buddy on the Online
+ buddy list and select "Temporarily Hide From." You will appear to that
+ buddy to be off-line. To make yourself seen by that buddy again:
+ right-click on the buddy and select "Un-hide From." Note that the menu
+ changes based on whether you're currently invisible to that buddy or
+ not.
+
+ The "Temporarily" part is a dead give-away. Your invisibility to
+ that buddy will last only until the next time you log on or until
+ you set server invisibility (discussed next) on and off.
+
+ To use per-server invisibility: click "Tools -> Away," select the Jabber
+ server login for the server upon which you wish to become invisible (if
+ necessary) and select "Invisible." To become visible again: select
+ anything else from that same menu (such as "Online"), or set your away
+ status or log off the server and back on again.
+
+ You can set yourself invisible per-server and subsequently make yourself
+ visible to selected buddies only.
+
+ Gaim currently does not retain invisibility settings between logins,
+ just as it doesn't currently retain "away" status.
+
+
+7.5 I've a buddy that I keep removing from my buddy list but the entry
+ keeps coming back every time I log in again! How can I stop this?
+
+ As of Gaim version 0.59 and later: Select the Edit Buddies tab, right-
+ click on the offending entry, and select "Remove From Roster."
+
+
+7.6 Can I remove a buddy from my Jabber roster entirely?
+
+ As of Gaim version 0.59 and later: yes. In the Edit Buddies tab, right-
+ click on a buddy and Select "Remove From Roster."
+
+ The buddy will disappear from your buddy list and also will no longer
+ receive presence notifications from you.
+
+
+7.7 What does "Cancel Presence Notification" do?
+
+ This selection, available in Gaim version 0.60 and later, and found by
+ right-clicking on a buddy entry in the Edit Buddies tab, prevents that
+ Jabber I.D. from receiving future presence notifications when you log on
+ to the server.
+
+ After you do this, that buddy will have to re-request a subscription to
+ your presence (and you will have to approve it) for them to again see you
+ on-line.

+9.3 Did you guys reverse engineer it?
TOC, Jabber, MSN, Napster, and IRC are published protocols, so we didn't
have to reverse engineer those. Oscar, ICQ, and Yahoo are not published,
and were reverse engineered by other people.

+9.4 Will Gaim be ported to Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP?
When GTK+ 2.0 comes out and compiles well against Cygwin, and Gaim has
been ported to it, Gaim should work. It will not happen before GTK+ 2.0
is ported to Windows, though.

Right now Gaim, is done entirely in C and GTK+, so a QT dock app is not
in planned. You can either write a patch to do this yourself, or wait
