I second ScottC's recommendation to turn off this "send it back to Google" thing...they sure try to collect a lot of data. I always turn off this kind of stuff.
(BTW: You can have IM logging built-in (and at the same time get rid of all these useless ads in AIM) and multiple protocols in one client if you download Trillian:
www.ceruleanstudios.com - I think it is the best IM client ever.)
