I have this same issue too (gaim fails to connect to jabber, and it crashes when I disable the account).
I'm using gaim 2.0.0beta3, installed on Dapper from packages by seb128 , found them in the ubuntu help wiki here's the crash backtrace, as instructed by the gnome help documentation. ** Attachment added: "backtrace normal" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4947447/gaim_backtrace -- Gaim crashed https://launchpad.net/bugs/66381 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
