[ubuntu-nz] how to remove amsn nag screen

[Andy Walker]

Video support for the MSN network on Linux is problematic. I have invetsed a
lot of time in trying to have it work but it is just not reliable at this
time.

I suggest just using Skype for video chats. Skype works very well on Linux.
I just keep pidgin for text chats only but switch over to Skype for video
chats.
