There's a whole load of functionality in mainline Y! thats not there in libyahoo. These days I even find it difficult to add new users under gaim. I have to do it in windows so it shows on serverlist. Then pip back to linux. Bad but have no time to look into the problem. I think libyahoo is falling back wrt official client.
what are you talking about? I was using gaim 1.1 till recently on my FC2 system and I've had no problems while doing anything on Y! I've upgraded it to 1.5 and I haven't noticed any problems either...

Try changing profiles. Or using a different profile when chatting with someone on gaim. If that was not enough there are extensions like avatar which afaik is not handled nicely. And regarding adding users to Y! list, gaim gave me problems. The user was added locally and not to the server list. This might have been handled in gaim 2.0, am not sure. But with default one that comes with Ubuntu, I've faced this problem since hoary. Try going stealth with gaim for selective users in gaim Y!. Oh and did I mention that gaim somehow "buffers" the message resulting in a text message lag. I don't have this problem with official client. I've faced this problem in various networks and isps. And its not n/w latency. :)
Haven't had the time to pin-point the problem and file a proper report with gaim / libyahoo.
There are things that gaim / libyahoo can do and cannot. Above are few of them.
