when loading gaim-galago (starting up gaim will do it), data such as the presence and avatar aren't set. When a person's status on gaim changes, the info will be set again, or when logging out and back in, it'll also be set. This is kind of... not good.
The presence should be fixed now. The avatar is going to require either a single from gaim or a hacky loop to keep checking avatars.
