Your are the only one who opened a bug about that and copy to gaim works fine on my box.
The crash log has a: "X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 154 Major opcode: 143 Minor opcode: 3 Resource id: 0x0 Failed to open device" It looks like some xorg device is not correctly configured. Could you get a backtrace with libgtk2.0-0-dbg installed? If you want to try if gaim 2.0beta5 fixes that problem you can install the package from http://people.ubuntu.com/~seb128/gaim-edgy -- crash after paste, reproducible always (for me) https://launchpad.net/bugs/75543 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
