Try to remove your .gaim after make a backup of it

Good luck!
Comment 3 Emiliano Moscato 2006-12-08 04:41:50 UTC
Pacho reminds me that gaim work fine with msn up to I quit a contact from the allow users list (Tools -> Privacy -> Allow only followin users). Gaim crashes when I remove a contact from that list, generally it works again when I start gaim again (and the contact which I've deleted is in the list. But sometimes it start crashing allways I connect to msn up to I delete .gaim file.
I attach a "corrupted" .gaim.

"corrupt" .gaim directory
Comment 5 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2006-12-08 05:33:51 UTC
Have you tried to emerge gaim-2.0-beta5, it works fine for me. May be an upstream bug :-/

Good luck!

PD: Backup your .gaim and remove it before launch gaim2.x
Comment 6 Bernd H. 2006-12-09 14:24:46 UTC
Upstream bug. See http://gaim.sourceforge.net/index.php?id=170
Comment 7 Kathryn Kulick (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-20 14:17:11 UTC
Closing as upstream as there are multiple bugs filed there, which I will be monitoring.
