hi @ all,

i'm testing FCR5 t2 (a clean installation, not an upgrade) and now gaim 
refuses to work, when i click on the icon it starts the usual routine and 
just when it says 'retrieving buddy list' it crashes (disappears)

starting it in a console (terminal) i can see the following:-

as root i've uninstalled and reinstalled gaim using yum, same problem. gaim 
starts just fine as root, but of course I don't want to use it as root.

gaim worked just fine up until yesterday and the only things that changed 
were two large yum updates

any ideas ?

cheers
