0.4.6-1: crash on attempting to add Y buddy, & more

I just tried to add a Yahoo contact for the first time today.  As a minor
point may I sugest that you add an 'Add Buddy' item to the Chat menu?
Having to right-click on the group title isn't that obvious.


The bigger problem (lol) was a segfault when I hit OK in the Add Contact
box.  I was trying to add a contact that I had previously added with
CenterICQ, which for some reason still uses version 0.1 of libyahoo2.

Ayttm version 0.4.6-1
GTK+ version 1.2.10
Features:
Operating system: Linux 2.4.21 (i686)
C Library: GNU libc 2.2.4
Signal: 11


My ISP's DNS cache currently isn't reliable, & while I don't think it had
anything to do with the above bug, it showed up another one: If a program
can't find a host, it often seems to be quicker to cancel & retry rather
than continue trying to connect.  I hit Cancel, then used the menu to
attempt to set my status to 'online' (which presumably would try to
reconnect) & nothing happened.  I had to restart Ayttm to start using Yahoo
again.

Attempting to connect to ICQ results in a dialog box reading "An unknown
error has occured 0" within 1 or 2 seconds of connection.  Also when the
DNS lookup for the ICQ server fails there's a progress bar that doesn't go
away until I hit cancel, not sure if this is a bug or it's retrying despite
showing the 'failed' dialog box.

Sorry about the long (-ish ;) list of bugs.
