I did use it, but it allready was buggy without qt-3.1 There is one bug that I 
reported at least 5 months ago including a fix that involved reading messages 
send by the yabber icq conduit. It is still not fixed in cvs. I believe this 
project is dead. In the mean time I switched, as kxicq is basically dead. It 
does have one usefull feature though in being able to use server based friend 
lists.
