  Yup, had 775 on the dir's.....

   Actually, it's got bigger problems.. I ran strace and it's getting protocol
rejections from AOL.

write(1, "parse_login_response: j+276/277/"..., 71parse_login_response: j+276/277/278/279/280 wrong for this packet type
) = 71

   Reference to your question:
---------------------------
[root@Pegasus ke4rit]# strace /usr/bin/gtkfaim &> faim.error
[root@Pegasus ke4rit]# cat faim.error | grep .faimrc
open("faimrc", O_RDONLY)                = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/root/.faimrc", O_RDONLY)         = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, "gtkfaim: config(config.c:233): c"..., 57gtkfaim: config(config.c:233): could not open ~/.faimrc: ) = 57
[root@Pegasus ke4rit]#       
---------------------------

   Looks like to me it's looking for .faimrc in /root. Am I reading this right?

   It really doesn't matter now... I finally got Kaim to compile and it works
fine so I'll use it.

   Thanks anyhow...

P.S. I'm bouncing this to myself to check the wrapping of text...
