Because of $summary and specially bug 268134 licq has been pretty useless for quite some time. Also bug 274070 isn't moving anywhere because of it. I propose hardmasking net-im/licq unless this all gets sorted out...
USE kde masked in base/use.mask until this is resolved.
I've created ebuild for new version (see Bug #296880) with some changes that I hope would fix this bug too If my changes are OK, they could be easely done in 1.3.6/7 ebuilds as well
Fixed in 1.3.8.
