Just got a chance to follow Sir Qole's steps, cleaning up any stuff from my previous attempts first, just in case.

Worked absolutely perfectly, as expected!!
Back online with ALL IM protocols including ICQ, all icons displaying... Sweet!

Also, already had Nokia Chat (XMPP profile) installed and pleased to report no conflicts.

Thanks again Qole!
