Summary: Bad import of old accounts.xml
Initial Comment:
PROBLEM:I previously used Gaim 1.5.0 on Ubuntu, but am now trying to 2.0 beta 6.
Booting up Gaim without flushing ~/.gaim causes me to be unable to login to my
AIM account. The groups and (cached?) buddy lists can be seen, but it cannot
log in.
DIAGNOSIS: Comparing the old and new accounts.xml shows that, in Gaim 1.5.0, an
AIM account uses
prpl-oscar
whereas Gaim 2.0 beta 6 uses
prpl-aim
Changing the contents of the protocol tag in accounts.xml fixes the problem.
SUGGESTED FIX: Gaim should automatically recognize the obsolete "prpl-oscar"
and change it to "prpl-aim" when it loads accounts.xml. Though deleting and
re-adding the account solved the problem, Gaim should really fix this
automatically.
NOTES: This problem has NOT been checked against the trunk branch, as trunk
just dumps core on me.

As of trunk revision 18212, this bug results in a CRASH on startup.
Specifically, when is "prpl-oscar", Gaim trunk crashes on
startup. If the field is changed to "prpl-aim", Gaim works fine.
Attached is a stack trace.
File Added: stacktrace-18212.txt
