Yahelite, yahoo

There are chat clients for directly chatting over the main pm networks - yahoo, msn etc. But, I was in need for a client to chat over the public chat rooms offered by linux.
Previously I had used YAhelite and found it much better than the default, all frill yahoo client. Much like the google search page, yahelite was to spartan and functional. Remembering this, I was surprised to see that Yahelite also offered a linux client. This though was having issues right out of the box. The next solution was to get Yahelite for windows and rely on Wine. Here too, the yahelite site did mention the need to download additional files to be able to use text formatting for using under Linux. But, since all I needed was normal text, I just downloaded the main client. It works beautifully.
It was only after running the windows client that I discovered the issue with the linux one. The captcha image was not being displayed in the latter.
