The only problem is as soon as i go to load up the messenger main window again from the system tray then it freezes and DEP kicks in and messenger crashes.
Before the flash player plugin (libflashplayer.so) was inside a folder called installflashplayer, and now it just unpacks into the current directory. The directory structure inside the flash player archive has changed, is why it is breaking now. it will then run messenger from the sidebar perfectly which will allow you to view contacts (only via the sidebar) and you get all of the normal chat windows etc and full functionalty of webcam etc etc etc. The script downloads the flash player from the Internet and unpacks it. When you are done then close all instances of messenger, load up the sidebar gadget and click on sign-in.
