Kubuntu is KDE-based and the IM for KDE is Kopete. Kubuntu don't install GAIM by default, so we don't have problems for Kubuntu users.
We could notify gnome-keyring as a suggested dependecy of GAIM so if some KDE user wants to install GAIM then he/she would be aware of the problem.
Maybe for Xubuntu users there will be some problems because GAIM is part of Xubuntu-desktop. In this case we can modify that patch to look if in home dir there are the credentials saved for every account and use them. If credentials are missing then use gnome-keyring.
The patch it's not so complex, it could modify easily.
It's a suitable solution?
