I'd got the same problem. And I don't want to go further more with that. If wine doesn't run winprogram correctly I just leave it and look for alternatives in linux world. Unless something's really important. There's so much alternative for Yahoo! client ( I believe you've already known ) such as Gaim, Kopete, etc. I assume the reason why you want Y!M v.6 is because its eye candy, then Gaim now has a lot enhancement on that. Kopete is nice too. I don't see a feature in Y!M v.6 that hasn't provided yet on those alternatives. --w.h-- Send instant messages to your online friends http://asia.messenger.yahoo.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
