Buddy icons and Adium

For some reason, whenever I select a GIF as my icon for AIM using Adium, the GIF does not animate. I apparently solved this problem by opening up my archaic AIM program and setting the icon there. All was well in Adium, until I closed the program and opened it again. Now the icon had returned to what it had been before. I also tried changing the icon in both places, but it still did not appear animated.

Is there any way around this? How can I get a GIF icon that will animate?

Drag the GIF into the image well, and make sure it is udner the limit of buddy icon sizes for the protocol.
