This is one of the reasons that I think VO needs to have app specific settings.

There are lots of other reasons for app specific configurations but I think this example illustrates why it's a good idea. cdh On Dec 28, 2009, at 12:32 PM, Ignasi Cambra wrote: > Adium does work very well, but you need to understand the way to make it > work.
