Please get a backtrace.
Created attachment 55435 [details] GAIM Backtrace I'm not sure if this backtrace will be useful, since all the addresses are labeled with "??" instead of function names. (GAIM was recompiled with the "debug" USE flag and "-ggdb" CFLAG, but it still wouldn't show function names...)
Can you try to duplicate this with gaim-extprefs 0.5?
I tested gaim-extprefs 0.5 with the latest version of gaim (1.5.0), and it seems to be working correctly.
