Uhh... yeah, that's what Gaim does too...  Thanks for the tip, Ric,
but I'm afraid that is in no way related to my question at hand.  Gaim
works fine, the issue is with a particular plugin, Guifications, that
shows status changes in little windows that pop up in the corner of
the screen (I believe "toaster plugin" is the technical term).  It
seems something is wrong in the FC6 package for Guifications and it
doesn't want to play with Gaim like it should.  Does no one else use
Guifications?  Hmm, maybe I'll just file a bug report...
