Bring up the iChat Buddy List via a dock click Apps
There's a feature of iChat that has always bugged me -- if you close the Buddy List window, and you have any chats going on, you can no longer bring up the Buddy List window by clicking the iChat icon. Instead, you have to activate iChat and then hit Command-1 (Window -> Buddy List).

There is a fix! First, download the ever-useful iChat enhancer Chax. Chax has a new option in its General tab (Chax preferences are within iChat's Preferences) that looks like this: "Show the following contact lists when clicking the iChat Dock icon." Check AIM (and any other services you use), and the annoying problem is solved.

Another option which is just about as easy as clicking on iChat in the dock:
You can go into iChat, choose the preference to "show iChat status in menu bar", and then pull down from the iChat icon in the menu bar to "Buddy List..."
