Is there a way to quit Adium and leave GAIM running in the background. just that I customize a lot and well the only way to see changes is to Quit adium then Open it again. I keep getting to maybe disconnects and reconnects on AIM because of this. Any help would be great...

I guess this is the big difference between adium and proteus, and it's not going to change on our end any time soon.
The way proteus uses libgaim is through a separate process. This has the side effects of what you are wanting, and also allowing the proteus gui to not become gpl'd, along with other things.
The way adium uses libgaim is through including it in the app.
I've seen some proteus converts mention that adium is faster than proteus, and this is the reason. How proteus talks to the imservices daemon is through something called distributed notifications (I believe, but am not sure and have not been following this since last year). Basically for everything that gets sent back and forth, it takes a bit. This is for the separation that is required to keep the gui and daemon how they are, and also to not have to gpl the proteus gui.
Long story short, you won't see this happening in adium.

Ok thanks for clearing that up, I didn't know any of that so it was very interesting. Its not so huge problem I will live with it

You could run naim in screen......I do that when I'm going to be gone for a long time.
