I installed iGlasses 1.1.1 and now I see that my contact list is all gone. Is there an easy way to get my Buddy List back?

The preferences file is at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ichat.plist but it doesn't contain the buddy list -- AFAIK the buddy list is stored server-side.

You could try using another IM client (Proteus, Audim or the Mac AOL AIM client) and see if it pulls the list down.
