I haven't had the time to look into how to do those things w/o using
system calls.  I know it's not terribly elegant, but it works for now.  If
you want to fix that up, feel free ;-)

That's really strange.  I've never had trouble getting add by UIN to work.
There was a minor issue with the rest of the searches, but the version
sitting on my desktop right this minute works fine using all methods of
search (I just tried them).

You can dump the packets by setting "Dump Packets" on the Network tab in
the options.  This will dump the ICQ packets out to stdout, and if you
capture that, you can see what's going on.
