[Bug 94752] Re: Startup notification doesn't work when gaim is started without a window (only in the notification area).

[Gabriel Patiño]

To update your packages, you can use the update-manager application
(system/administration/update manager).

It would be helpfull to know if the program is reporting any error when launching it. To do this, open a terminal (Applications/Accesories/Terminal) and run gaim from inside the terminal.
If it reports any error (or even warnings) please add a comment to this bug pasting that information.
