Is the problem when you are connecting, or when you are starting/receiving a conversation? Try starting gaim with "gaim -n" to disable auto-login. Then go into preferences and disable the history plugin for now to try to isolate the problem. Also make sure you have emerged gaim with USE="debug".
Looks like a MSN conversation window init and trying to load a font. You could also try to backup your .gaim subdir and then delete and let it recreate a new one if you can't solve it per Don's instructions.
After moving my logs directory and letting gaim recreate it, it stopped doing it, thanks :)
