Description of problem: This is well established that GAIM is a multi-protocol chat/IM client app. However this RFE can be basically considered as a suggested enhancement to get Linux as preferred desktop around the world on kiosks and Internet cafes as a cheaper & stable alternative to what else is available. This might be a complicated thought to implement bu here it goes: Upon start-up of GAIM presently only the user with stored protocol and account configuration can log in. This is not desirable for people who will just come to use a Linux PC as guests. So perhaps GAIM login interface could be enhanced in a way where anymore information than of username-account be option to change for a particular account, and users to be allowed to log into multiple protocols while GAIM processes runs as single instance as normally.
There have been multiple requests for this kind of functionality in the past. Upstream developers are not interested in this. I would suggest implementing it and suggesting it for upstream inclusion, perhaps as a non-default parameter used when launching gaim. Because this not a Fedora specific issue, I am closing this UPSTREAM. You must deal with the upstream project regarding this.
