I just went thru this too, and I'm a bit hot about it I must admit. 
Reason being is, the RH9 RPM that Yahoo offers doesn't seem to work for 
me at all. It just says "connecting..." and just sits there. Not to 
mention manually digging up all my info from~/.gaim/blist, etc.

I'll play with it a bit and tell what I find out if anyone's interested.
