Ubuntu Edge has Gaim as standard messenger. My problem is, I don’t like Gaim, because of terrible design. The design of Gaim is so terrible that I could not find words to describe what I’m feeling while I see it. I’m not a designer, but I think that I could make it much better, that it is now.
The existence of Gaim on my computer was stopped with commad:
apt-get remove gaim

But there are not so many messengers for Linux that understand different code pages at the same time and looks like better than Gaim.
As alternative for Gaim I found Simple Instant Messenger (SIM).
SIM looks like as a normal messenger and has code pages choice so you can choose a code page while you are chatting.
