Buddy lists (and changes) are cached to ~/.gaimbdcache_<sn> where <sn> is your
screen name (folder to uppercase). If for some reason, you log into the AOL
server and the buddy list comes back empty, we check for a cache file, and, if
we find one, read it in. This essentially implements recovery from a server
crash at AOL (AOL does not back up machines that contain TOC-based buddy lists,
unfortunately).

Note: The plugins that come with GAIM are for educational purposes only. We have released them hoping to give you guys enough information to go on. We'll continue developing them in our free time but we ask you to do the same. If you have any suggestions for them, let us know. If you do not wish to enable the plugin support within GAIM, run the ./configure script with the --disable-plugins option and recompile your source code. This will prevent the ability to load plugins. 'make install' puts the plugins in $PREFIX/lib/gaim (PREFIX being what you specified when you ./configure'd - it defaults to /usr/local). Gaim looks for the plugins in $HOME/.gaim/plugins/ by default, but they do not have to be there to use them. Also, plugins have a .so extension by default, though they do not have to. Enjoy and Happy Hacking! Rob Flynn
