Yes, it is a bit irritating that it uses GTK1, I did manage to get a GTK1 
theme similar to my GTK2 theme, but not currently :-(.  On the MSN 
connection, sometimes it will get a connection has been reset, other times it 
won't - are you seeing this consistantly?

MSN File transfers have (do?) work.  GnomeMeeting is still not 100% compatible 
with Netmeeting.

Please, if you are going to port to GTK2, do that separately.  I (and I'm sure 
many others) would love a GTK2 version but hate a C# version.
