Are you running the gaim applet?  If so, it only works under gnome.
However, I run just the gaim program by itself fine under kde.  Never
had a problem with it.  Make sure you're running "gaim" instead of
gaim-applet (or is it gaim_applet, I never can remember).

 Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little 
 order, will lose both and deserve neither.  --  Benjamin Franklin 

 History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times
 of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to 
 endure.  --  Justice Thurgood Marshall, 1989
