Right, unfortunately this plugin works with gaim1, not gaim2+.  I've
been beating up on upstream since gaim2 made it into devel, but always
with the response "when gaim2 goes GA, we'll update."  And who knows
when that'll be.   Not even the CVS code supports gaim2 yet,
unfortunately.

Soo...  Right now, short of my writing a patch to make the necessary
changes (which I'm close to doing, non-trivial as I suspect it might
be), at least removing this package from fc6 will keep people from
trying to install it under fresh builds.
