Just wanting to understand - are these applications, rtcomm and pidgen for maemo, still with active developers? I see the instructions posted to work around the msn/icq problems, but will there be an official fix / update of rtcomm and/or pidgin? Having just yesterday performed a much needed reflash of my device (something I very rarely have an opportunity to do) I'm just feeling really cautious and am worried about tinkering around with hack? fixes that might cause problems down the line. Thanks.

EDIT I installed the pidgin currently in extras and the updated the libpurple with your (qole) file linked at the bottom of post above mine. ICQ in pidgin works, but is this also for rtcomm or is that soomething else? The instrructions posted a short whe back seemed much more complicated sounding then what I just did.
