ICQ Clients Trouble (licq, gnomeicu, gaim)

I wanted to replace gaim because when I move a buddy from one group to another it pops up a window saying:

"Could not add the buddy # for an unknown reason. The most common reason for this is that you have too many buddies in your buddy list."

The adding works via the ICQ online interface, and I have upto 40 people on the list. So I don't think its the too many buddies thing.

So I try licq, and I can't even add my account (I go to owner manager or whatever and clicking "add" does nothing...)

gnomeicu crashes when I try to remove a buddy (but was otherwise so nice!).

So I am annoyed. Any experience with these problems? I'll settle for any fix right about now. And switching to aim is not an option

gaim 2 from aur works ok for me... you can also get it from shadowhand's repo. Not sure it will solve your problem though.
