Error when launching gaim.

I recently installed ArchLinux and I get this error when I launch gaim:

gaim: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have tried reinstalling gaim and its dependencies, but the error persists.  Has anyone else had this problem?

There's a missing dependency. To fix it:
# pacman -S libxss

Re: Error when launching gaim.

Did one of you guys filed a bug report, as this looks like a missing dependency?
