Very nice!  Works like a charm...I tested it with my AIM account (using 
a Jabber server AIM gateway)...now all we need is a Jabber server (or 
did you do that too?).

(this also makes me yearn to use this as my everyday jabber client...to 
make that a practical reality, I would really like to be able to open a 
Jabber UI in a separate OS window from the main Squeak Window)
