when using gaim 2beta the away message list at the bottom of the buddy list always has to scroll. i've heard that this might be a gtk glitch. a fix for is needed.
create file ~/gtkrc-2.0 and add the lines below. modify as needed but this will remove the scrolling problem. style "gaim-statusbox-style" { # This is a work-around that keeps you from having to scroll # if the status selector is at the bottom of the screen. GtkComboBox::appears-as-list = 1 # Depending on your theme and/or GTK+ version, one of # the following blocks should eliminate excess padding. # The second approach is probably more universally # applicable, but the first removes more padding for # some people. # Eliminate Padding Approach 1 xthickness = 0 ythickness = 0 # Eliminate Padding Approach 2 xthickness = 2 ythickness = 2 GtkWidget::focus-line-width = 0 GtkWidget::focus-padding = 0 } widget "*gaim_gtkblist_statusbox*" style "gaim-statusbox-style"
