ICQ has been working solid for me since I upgraded to FreeBSD 2.2.5, XFree 3.3.1, kwhite's JDK 1.1, and ICQ 0.95 There's three things that need to be done to the JDK to get ICQ running, and one more to make it run better. First two items are on the kwhite page, though it sounds like you already took care of those (symlinks or patches to take care of /bin/ksh and a library issue). The other essential item is to delete the font.properties* files from the java lib directory. This is probably where you're having problems. Finally, I recommend installing Lesstif 0.82, since most of the ICQ bugs that you'll notice are actually Lesstif bugs, and this fixes most of them (and creates one other bug, but simply resizing the window fixes the problem). Oh, you'll need to go into the lib directory and remove the link to the patched Lesstif 0.79 that is included with the kwhite JDK, and replace it with a link to your new 0.82 library.
