A certain version of SuSE would set the desktop background to red if you
logged in as root.
And looking at your signature, I noticed IRC wasn't really mentioned in
this thread. Not exactly instant-messaging, but a good place to get
support (errr... or to be labeled as n00b).
I normally use xchat, which is probably also the client of choice for
the Gnomes. From what I understand, Konversation is the client of
choice for the Trolls (err... KDE folks). The ChatZilla extension to
Iceweael (or whatever) is also quite nice. Gaim/Pidgin and Kopete have
their own IRC plugins. And there's the irssi terminal-based client.
