Andrew, what version of GNOME are you running? I get the impression that gnome-ickle is GNOME1.x stuff, so I'd be surprised if it would work with GNOME2's panel. (I'm sorry if I'm off track, but you mentioned testing/unstable, so that's my first thought.) For what it's worth, I'm successfully running gaim 0.63 with GNOME 2.2.0, under Debian stable (...er, via GARNOME [1]). But that doesn't help you with ickle, sorry.
