Aacchh! was wrong about gaim being restored. If run as non-root, it takes a 
password and disappears, leaving:

	gaim: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: 
		undefined symbol: cairo_scaled_font_get_f

In /usr/lib I find:

	lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    29 2006-10-28 10:57 libpangocairo-1.0.so ->\
		libpangocairo-1.0.so.0.1400.7
	lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    29 2006-10-28 10:57 libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 -> \
	libpangocairo-1.0.so.0.1400.7
	-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29256 2006-10-13 11:30 \
	libpangocairo-1.0.so.0.1400.7

I tried reinstalling libpango1.0-0. But no change.

When I run the appl' as root, it's fine (sound is back too), and there is no 
error message.
