Hello,

Miranda main executable and shipped plugins don't make use of Gdiplus API.

Source: https://miranda.googlecode.com/svn/branches/stable/miranda/

(I also checked all binaries).

The Miranda executable manifest contains a Gdiplus reference Wine doesn't find
in default WINEPREFIX WinSxS.

Manifest:
https://miranda.googlecode.com/svn/branches/stable/miranda/src/miranda32.exe.manifest

Only some 3rd party plugins really make use of Gdiplus - they are not part of
standard Miranda install.

I tried clean profile and install gdiplus via winetricks but neither helps.

Winetricks doesn't help because the recipe only copies the dll into system32
folder without shared assembly registration (better way would be using using MS
Gdiplus SDK/redist which ships a manifest).

Whatever you mean with "group chats are broken", Gdiplus is not the problem
here.
The "fixme" is unrelated.

Regards
