Since the upgrade to qt 3.1.2 kopete crashes when connecting to ICQ. I'm not sure if this is gentoo related or not. I also filed a kopete bug report, you can look at it here: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57145 Thanks.
this is a kopete bug, we can't fix it, it crashes when it doesn't reach to connect to icq, after some tries it works.
I just looked at the #19005 this seem to be a bug in QT 3.1.2
