Double Gajim annoyance
My number one annoyance with Gajim is that I sometimes start two instances. These two will continuously start logging on and off the server struggling to be the dominant instance.
This behaviour will of course not only get me baned by the provider's server, but will also drive my contacts insane as they'll get a continuous stream of sign on notices for me.
It is most probably just a bug, but it is truly annoying if I accedently double click on the Gajim icon or something simular.
Other than that Gajim is a really good instant messenger client.

One comment
it's strange because When you start the second instance, a dialog appear: "Gajim is already running". so starting a secod instance by error is quite impossible.
Now if you want to start a second instance, you can use profiles: run gajim -p profile_name
