Ok! So here we go...
For some reason, which I'm oblivious to, the native gaim pixmaps are not
being installed into the build root when --enable-panel is passed to
configure.

>From %install

<SNIP>
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs `/usr/bin/gnome-config --datadir`/pixmaps/gaim
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 away.png /usr/share/pixmaps/gaim/away.png
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 connect.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/gaim/connect.png
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 msgpend.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/gaim/msgpend.png
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 offline.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/gaim/offline.png
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 online.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/gaim/online.png
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs `/usr/bin/gnome-config --datadir`/pixmaps
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 gaim.xpm /usr/share/pixmaps/gaim.xpm
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/gaim-0.51/pixmaps'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/gaim-0.51/pixmaps'
</SNIP>

Finally at the end of it all we get our lovely error and exit message.

RPM build errors:
    File not found by glob: /var/tmp/gaim-buildroot/usr/share/pixmaps/*

 My question is, does some prep work need to be done? 
If not, what then?
If I can find the answer to this question (which I'm sure is quite
simple), I believe I can go in and fix quite a few spec files (spec
files without my adjustments that flake out like this).
