Dependency Of Package Gaim Seems Missing Libxss

As title.

This morning I accidentally removed the package "libxss",
and found that gaim fails to launch with following error message:

[root@bsdson.tw ~]# gaim
gaim: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is this a missing dependency of package "gaim" ?

Thx.

It would appear as if it may be:

As far as I can tell nothing that gaim depends on depends on libxss in any round-about away...
