It has been a while since Gaim 2.0.0 beta 5 came out. It works so great! Only one thing I really hate is the blank filename on file transfer. It is very annoying me everytime I got files from my friends. Fortunately, it was closed last week. It's the good news. The bad one is that this patch seems to be appeared in beta 6 and there is no tentative timeframe yet. However, the power of opensource is I don't have to wait. Everything I want, I might do it myself. Anyway, I don't have enough time to figure out where the problem is so I have to wait for the patch. Now, the patch is available. I may wait for beta 6 or compile it myself to make it work early. I have enough time to compile for sure!

I have successfully rebuilt gaim on Ubuntu Edgy Eft (my laptop). If you dare, below is the repository I uploaded my Gaim.
