Gaim in KDE

I've just installed the latest gonme packages via apt-get upgrade and
now Gaim has menus with black backgrounds, which makes them unreadable.
If possible, I'd like to not downgrade anything, but if I have to,
what would be the easiest way to do so?

Any help would be appreciated.

I neglected to mention that Thunderbird is slightly unstable now also.
I.e. it crashes after a certain dialogue box pops up and you click okay.
It does not crash all the time, however.

I just discovered that Firefox is now also prone to crashing with
dialogue boxes. And Evolution also has the black menu problem.

BTW - I'm running SuSE 9.3

Hi Matt,

What version of SuSE are you using, I have gaim 1.5.0 installed from the
GURU FTP RPM's working under SuSE 9.3 Pro (KDE 3.4.2) without this problem.

Get the RPM's here

Hope this helps
