When running gaim attempting to double click on a buddy to open an IM window causes a segmentation fault. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Gaim 2. Connect to aim 3. Double click on a buddy (any buddy will do) Actual Results: gaim was compiled with USE="gtk2 debug". Many of my libraries were compiled fomit-frame-pointer so this might not be as useful as it could have been.

Yeah you're going to need to change the CFLAG so we can get a meaningful backtrace. The one you've provided is useless. FYI gaim uses gtk2 no matter what and doesn't use the gtk2 USE flag.
Ya, unfortunetly I'd have to compile a considerable amount of stuff over again to get it to be any better. Just compiling gaim without the -fomit-frame-pointer doesn't help any.
Perhaps run it as 'gaim -d' and paste here the last parts of the debug output before the crash.
Here is the last bit of the debugging output from gaim -d. oscar: chatnav: connected oscar: chat info: Chat Rights: oscar: chat info: Max Concurrent Rooms: 3 oscar: chat info: Exchange List: (16 total) oscar: chat info: 20 oscar: chat info: 16 oscar: chat info: 15 oscar: chat info: 14 oscar: chat info: 13 oscar: chat info: 12 oscar: chat info: 11 oscar: chat info: 10 oscar: chat info: 9 oscar: chat info: 8 oscar: chat info: 7 oscar: chat info: 6 oscar: chat info: 5 oscar: chat info: 4 oscar: chat info: 2 oscar: chat info: 1 sighandler: Caught signal 2 account: Disconnecting account 0x825f5b0 connection: Disconnecting connection 0x842a278 server: removing NOP oscar: Signed off. blist: Destroying accels: accel changed, scheduling save. accels: accel changed, scheduling save. accels: accel changed, scheduling save. accels: accel changed, scheduling save. accels: accel changed, scheduling save. accels: accel changed, scheduling save. accels: accel changed, scheduling save. accels: accel changed, scheduling save. accels: accel changed, scheduling save. Gaim has segfaulted and attempted to dump a core file. This is a bug in the software and has happened through no fault of your own. It is possible that this bug is already fixed in CVS. If you can reproduce the crash, please notify the gaim maintainers by reporting a bug at http://gaim.sourceforge.net/bug.php Please make sure to specify what you were doing at the time, and post the backtrace from the core file. If you do not know how to get the backtrace, please get instructions at http://gaim.sourceforge.net/gdb.php. If you need further assistance, please IM either RobFlynn or SeanEgn and they can help you. Aborted Any ideas where I might find the core file? I have looked for gaim.core but haven't been able to find it and to be honest I am not sure how core dumps are handled in Gentoo.
See the notes on gaim's gdb page about ulimit and core files.
Well I am going to mark this as cant fix because it is a result of some combination of gcc 3.4.0-r4, gtk+ 2.4.1 and the gtk-qt theme from freedesktop.org. Before I upgraded to gcc 3.4.0-r4 and gtk+ 2.4.1 it worked just fine but now gaim crashes when I choose the gtk-qt theme as my theme but is fine with all the other gtk themes. Go figure. I'll file a bug report with the gtk-qt guy.
