[Bug 97520] In Feisty Fawn, Gaim fails to autoconnect to ICQ account on startup

[MartinE]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gaim

I have configured Gaim to autoconnect to my ICQ account on startup. But
the attempt to connect never succeeds: Gaim says "Waiting for network
connection" in the statusbar (I'm using the german translation, so I'm
not sure about the exact english wording), and nothing else happens.

However, when I select "Accounts -> *My ICQ account* -> Deactivate" to
stop the connection attempt, and then select "Accounts -> Activate
account -> *My ICQ account", the connection attempt succeeds without any
trouble.

Steps to reproduce: See above, happens every time.

** Affects: gaim (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
