You found RPMs somewhere?  Where were they?  I've always compiled gicq
from source, although it doesn't seem to work with GNOME 0.30 for some
reason...

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/Mike/icq/gicq-0.22/src'

And trying to run a previous compile of gicq returns

gicq: error in loading shared libraries
/usr/lib/libgnomeui.so.0: undefined symbol: g_direct_equal

Swallowed apps seem to be weird, and I tend to avoid using them (I try
to use only the applets that are intended to be used with the panel..)

Anyway, I just haven't been using ICQ for a while..  maybe it'll be
fixed sometime (unfortunately, I know very little about how to write
apps for GTK/GNOME, so I can't do much about it...)
