So, I've decided to jump back onto IM after a few years. My last Linux-based IM client was AYTTM, but I'm not even sure it's still packaged with Fedora, although I suppose I could "roll my own" so to speak. :D I'd prefer to use a pre-packaged IM client.

I've tried Pidgin, but I'm having a problem where if I change my status to "away" it freezes out the keyboard and won't let me type anything until I close Pidgin and start it back up.

I currently use LXDE and KDE. Anyone got a suggestion for a good multi-protocol IM client? I used to use Trillian on the Windows side of things, but I try to stay away from Windows as much as possible. :D

Thanks!

I know exactly what bug you're talking about, I noticed it appeared a few revisions ago. If you're not afraid of using out-of-date code (supposedly new code has security fixes), you can download an older version of Pidgin from http://koji.fedoraproject.org The bug also has a workaround -- if you can use your mouse to click a top menu item, everything goes back to normal.
