Is there a way to keep IM client from remembering users info?

I want to setup linux on some internet cafe pc's. I'm going with puppy or maybe teenpup but I wanted to see if there was a way to keep gaim or any other IM client from remembering users info. Basically I want it to open up every time like the first time with a small wizard maybe. I'm very new to linux. any help is appreciated.

I can't test this right now(I am at work and no Unix machines around), but you could do that by:

1 - Make the folder where gaim stores user details read-only or
2 - Create a simple script that deletes the .gaim folder everytime gaim starts.

If you are not sure how to do either of those, tell me and I can give some hints about user permission and/or scripting.

Regards!

I could use some tips if you can give them. I'm learning, I'll take any knowledge I can. Thanks
