Ah... OK, seems to get further if I do "licq -p kde-gui".

Would probably be nicer if licq simply detected which plugins were installed
and tried to pick one. It seems to want the "qt-gui" plugin by default and
simply dies if it doesn't find it, which is mystifying unless one knows what
to do about that (witness my confusion above). Is this the place to propose
such a change?

Also, perhaps licq 1.0.3-5 should be restored to testing? It really does
work fine for me...

Thanks for your help...
