It looks like the problem comes from the input box that is used to set status after connecting; since the window is hidden, trying to read from the (unmapped) widget makes gaim go boom; the fix should be trivial, but I don't have the time to read through the source; I am willing to get my hands dirty if someone will point me to the source that needs changing, though...
I can confirm the same problem here. Removing the link to /usr/lib/gaim/docklet.so under the loaded pref/gaim/gtk/plugins/loaded in ~/.gaim/prefs.xml allowed gaim to restart.

Jonathan, is your bt the exact same as the first poster's? I"m totally unable to re-create this problem.
I can't replecate it now - even with the old config (restored from backup). However, before removing docklet.so out of prefs.xml each start of gaim-2.0.0-beta3-r1 resulted in a SIGABRT (IIRC, although it may have been SIGSERV). I even tried re-compilation a number of times Regardless of state now, gaim will re-load.
Thank you for your quick response. I'll go ahead and close the bug as fixed.
