It's not something I use either (can you tell?).  I'm actually glad
that Yahoo have finally decided to do something about this, because
the amount of spam in their chat-rooms was stupid.

If anyone else wants to submit a patch that will make chatrooms work
again, then I'll be happy to apply it, otherwise I think they're
broken for now.

The yahoo servers seem to send some base64 encoded data when I try and
join the room, and I don't feel like downloading the official yahoo
client and corrupting my system with it :-)
