iChat disconnects when Screen Saver comes on

[sprime1]

Subject says it all. Any way to stop this from happening? I like staying connected all the time, even through screen saver, in case I get a message when i'm away.

Digging this post up from the grave..but I'm having a similar issue on my laptop. But even on my iMac, it's pretty ridiculous that when my screen saver comes on..my status is automatically set to go away.

Have you set security to require a password to wake the computer from sleep or screensaver?

No - it's not set for that
