Having a special "Guest Login" is just silly; a much better solution
would be to detect a running Gaim process on start, and if one is
found, show a Mozillaesque "Select Profile" dialog which would set the
config dir appropriately. Hence giving users the ability to use -c
without needing to know about it. This way when a guest wants to use
Gaim, he can create his own "profile".


Maybe. Then again, from time to time we get requests to put gaim in a guest-only mode for kiosk/public computer use. I wonder if the two ideas could be combined into something that doesn't suck.
