Additional Comments
Msn Messenger 7.0 have problems when receiving messages from the contacts but is fixed by double-clicking on the contact in the general display of messenger or minimize and maximize the chat window, there is also a problem when typing a message in the window chat that is solved by clicking on the top of the chat window (where you see all the messages sent and received) and again by clicking the message writing area, Scroll bar in chat window don't have a limit and finally the webcam does not work. I created a deb package installer for MSN Messenger 7.0 (Spanish) with the version 1.3.17 of wine to test the application, only for ubuntu 10.10, if you want to run MSN Messenger 7.0 seek access Internet menu or typing msnmsgr terminal. http://www.mediafire.com/?dkkainjdh1e6ty8
