iChat Duplicate/Double Windows on Launch

Looks like I need to add a "Computers" section to my news page here... Done.

So, I use iChat on a fairly regular basis at work. It's great for getting a slightly quicker response to questions. (He says as he waits for a response to a question.) But I discovered an interesting problem and figured that I wasn't alone for once.

When I open up a new chat using the iChat menu-bar icon, I get a second, identical window directly behind the first. Not a big deal. I just close the second window and go on with my chat. It started to get a little annoying though. After a couple of quick googles, I found a forum thread over at Apple that dealt with the issue. They suggested deleting the com.apple.ichat.plist preference file which I had deleted earlier for a different reason. They also suggested deleting the com.apple.iChatAgent.plist which I haven't tried.

Anyway. I found one possible solution. If you're having the same problem, check out this thread at Apple.
