Yes, I think doing it in a clean way would require lots of work.

I use almost only gtk2 apps and I'd like to have a consistant look, save
some memory etc... For now I use Gaim (gtk2 port from cvs) which works
fine, but I like the idea of simplicity behind yattm. By the way, what
are main differences between gaim and yattm ?

It seems they are reinventing GConf (Gnome 2 preferences system) with
their "EB registry". In fact I think I need a gnome 2 IM application. :-)

I've found http://gimli.sourceforge.net/ but they seem to want to
develop yet another library (libelysium)...

What about a XUL interface ? :-))
