When I try to click the Docklet, Gaim produces a segfault. Also it segfaulted when I want to remove a chat room. The Funny thing is, that the output of the backtrace is the same: ----------------- glibc with nptl enabled: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Please redo your summary, e.g. "net-im/gaim-x.y: ..."
Read the gaim gdb page about dealing with malloc errors.
No idea what happens, after reemerging the System Gaim works well. Sorry for that. Michael Edwards
