Try and run "ls /usr/lib/licq/licq_*" to see if you even have that plugin installed. My guess is that you probably have the kde plugin, but not the qt plugin. If I'm right, running "licq -p kde-gui" should fix your problem. It's a bit sad that this bug has gone for two months with no reply though!
unfortunately, none of us use licq.
