In gossip-new-account-window.c your using an icon (GTK_STOCK_INFO) that is only in gtk >= 2.8. It's easy enough to patch to use with 2.6, just change GTK_STOCK_INFO to GTK_STOCK_DIALOG_INFO, and it should compile with gtk-2.6. You'll probably want to change configure.ac for future releases, though. Martyn, While building the packages for Fedora I noticed that 0.10 should depend on gtk-2.8, instead of gtk-2.6.

The huge vertical margins are really ugly.<p/>In fact, looking at the screenshot more closely, I notice a lot of margins that should probably be reduced or eliminated. The left and right edges of the contactlist, button bar, scrollbar and status combobox are not flush with the edges of the window, so they don't line up with the edges of the menu bar. The right edge of the status combo is indented even more!<p/>I know I'm splitting hairs, but this looks clunky and unpolished to me. One of my co-workers noticed immediately as well, and a couple of others have been annoyed about it since I pointed it out (haha). Would it be too much to ask to get this adjusted?

Thanks for spotting this one.
