Summary: gaim1.4.0 seems not to load any plugin

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I'm running a fresh copy of gaim 1.4.0 (the "with
gtk"-Package) on WinXP.

When starting Gaim I recieve the "Add Account"-Window,
but no protocol is listed in the dropdown (don't have
the problem with gaim1.0.0).

There plugin section in the Options-Dialog is also
empty; but the "plugins"-Folder is filled with dll's
like in the old Versions.

Any help would be appreciated,
Joerg

This bug is fixed in the most recent version of Gaim.  If you are
not using the lastest version, please upgrade.  If you are using
the latest version, please indicate so and reopen this bug.

Hi Daniel,

I can confirm your thoughts, when installing gaim in
c:\programme\gaim\  I don't encounter any problems. gaim is
behaving as in former times ;-)

I really apreciated your help,
J�rg

I think figured out what the problem is.

Current versions of WinGaim have problems running from a
path containing non-ASCII characters.  (The problem has
since been fixed).

In the mean time, you can avoid this problem by installing
gaim to a directory containing only ASCII characters.

C:\Programme\Zubeh�r\CommunicationTools\Gaim\plugins exists
and contains all the various dlls?

Gaim isn't even trying to load the plugins from that dir,
which indicates that either it can't read it, or it doesn't
exist.  Also, there are errors loading the various stock
icons from
C:\Programme\Zubeh�r\CommunicationTools\Gaim\pixmaps\gaim\buttons
so that indicates that there is something weird about that
path (or it is missing stuff).

If you start gaim from the command line with the -d
parameter, and redirect the output to a file, it should
provide some log information as to why this is happening.
(like this: gaim -d > debug.log)
