X-button MINIMIZING Gaim?


As if the title weren't enough. . .

So I'm a 12-hour Mandrake newbie here, and I've got a question about Gaim. Is there a setting somewhere to make it so the X (close) button only minimizes the Buddy List window? It's a habit from Windows, and I'm just wondering if it can be done in Linux.

Thanks gang.

If you really NEED that functionality use kopete, it does it by default. LOL...sorry for some reason this post made me chuckle.

Hehe, yeah, it's a small issue, but I was curious.

That should fix your problem

Man, yeah, thanks canyon, I actually just realized that that worked. I had found that setting and turned it on, but since it didn't mention anything about minimizing, I never tried it.

Seriously, guys and gals, I've been a computer kid for years. . . I was just tired. I swear.
