I was working on a project today that has gone way beyond the bounds of reason, so I thought it would be funny to set my iChat message to “Scope Creeper” and find a picture of the Creeper from Scooby-Doo, which I did.

I kept typing creeper-like noises into the chat window (very productive, no?) and he mentioned that I needed a Creeper icon. This is when I knew my iChat was messed up. I asked him if he had an icon, and he said he did, although all I could see was the generic AIM yellow running man.

And my chatter sent this along as evidence that he does indeed have his own Buddy Icon. Has anyone else had issues with icons in iChat? I’d like to know if this is a bug, or if I have a corrupt plist file, or what the heck is going on. I’ve googled this issue but come up with next to nothing, hence this post. I suppose I should clarify, too, that I’m using Chax, which allows me to keep my iChat windows in tabs. I wonder if Chax is messing with the updating or viewing of buddy icons?
