Comment(by thanovia):

 I've had to stop using it for the past 5 months all together because I
 cannot get it to start. I've removed it, run the clean program and
 reinstalled GTK, tried downgrading, upgrading, following everyone else's
 fixes, and it still never starts. Every time this ticket gets touched I
 try whatever is mentioned in the ticket and try starting it again but so
 far it has never successfully started in 5 months. I used to really like
 gaim before it changed names and stopped working. When is it going to work
 again?
