Freaky iChat bug in Leopard - How to fix?

I have gadu-gadu and MSN set up in iChat though Jabber (googletalk, actually).

For a few days now all my contacts have had my avatar instead of their own images.

When I change my own avatar, the one I used to have but all my contacts now do

doesn't change. As you can see from the screenshot, in address book all the contacts

have their proper images, but iChat doesn't use them.

I've tried deleting .plist files for iChat and address book and reconfiguring everything,

but the bug is still there. Has anyone else experienced this? :-/

In the second screen, you can see the Get Info window for a contact in iChat. If I

select "Always use this picture" in that window, it will use the proper avatar, but

if the user happens not to have an image set in Address Book, then iChat will just

use my image anyway.

You might wanna blank out the emails..

maybe try to uninstall and reinstall?
