You read my mind Jon :)  I use Yahoo Messenger in Windows on the laptop
and I'd *like* to use it in Linux too.  The problem is the current Linux
version does not support a webcam function.  Does anyone know of a Linux
IM app that is compatible with the major IMs AND has a webcam function?

BTW I'm using a Logitech Quickcam Home USB.. is this likelly to work in
Linux anyway?

Kind regards,

Jules
