Is there any application to chat with webcam on msn and yahoo?

The only reason that i keep windowsXP dualboot with linux is that i still need to use webcam while chatting with my friends on MSN and Yahoo Messenger. I use gaim on linux but this IM does not have webcam support. Does anyone know how to chat with webcam (Logitech Quickcam messenger) on MSN and Yahoo messenger?

New versions of Kopete should have webcam support for Yahoo and MSN.

There is a fork of gaim called gaim-vv that is currently in development. I've never used it so I don't know how well it works for your situation, but it might be worth checking out, gaim-vv.
