    In which case, it can only (surely) be a problem with the Gaim package you
    downloaded - the MSN plugin is in that package (or not). So, have you tried
    uninstalling Gaim and installing an RPM from a source that you know includes
    the MSN plugin (such as usr-local-bin)? If even that doesn't work then there's
    something very screwy! The ulb Gaim package certainly includes the MSN
    protocol and it certainly can work with no problems - I have none here.

    If you downgrade to an old version, does the MSN plugin reappear?

    This cannot be a problem with the MSN protocol change because that would only
    show up as an inability to connect, not a missing plugin within Gaim.
