Right-click on the gaim icon in the upper right corner.  That's probably
your "system tray" area.  The right-click will bring up several choices,
one of which is "accounts" select that, and you should be able to add
a new account for various chat protocols.

It's been awhile, but I still remember this being unintuitive to me also :)
