profile in Gaim?

ii don't see any option in Gaim to edit or create a profile like in Aim. Is it possible or a feature they left out of Gaim?

Do you mean different profiles, so that multiple people can use it even logged in as the same system user? Like firefox and thunderbird have?
I don't think that feature is implemented. I looked for it too. I suppose they assume most people will have different users on their system, so one system user dosen't have to create multiple profiles in gaim.

you can have multiple accounts, yes, and you can run multiple instances, so yeah, you can use it at the same time even as the same system user.

Yes, but can you have two seperate profiles (not accounts; profiles).
For example, profile abc would have an ICQ account of 123456, an AIM account of foo, and an MSN accout of bar@hotmail.com, while profile def would have an IRC account on irc.freenode.net of blablabla, an AIM account of whosyodaddy, and a yahoo account of isuck

that, you cannot. or at least I know of any feature allowing it.
