Stop using gaim-rhythmbox and try to duplicate it.

I'm also experiencing this problem.  Gaim never stays running for very long.  I don't use any plugins that don't get installed by the standard ebuild.  However, I'm on amd64 not x86.  Should I start a new bug report for this?

Howard, unless your backtrace is very similar, then yes file a new bug.

Still waiting for user to duplicate without gaim-rhythmbox plugin.

Sorry for the delay. Changed location from Finland to Germany and getting a working network connection took some time :). 

I disabled the rhythmbox-plugin and gaim has not crashed since. Probably the reason lays there.
