I've never done a manual install of Gossip from the source, I've 
installed it from the .deb packages provided by Ubuntu.

When I start Gossip I just get the "Welcome to Gossip/New 
Account" dialog. When I cancel it, Gossip says "You have no 
Instant Messaging accounts configured! Next you will be 
presented with the Account Information dialog to set your 
details up." My old account is not listed in that dialog.

It seems that my account information is located in a file called 
  ~/.gnome2/Gossip/Accounts. It's not in XML format.

I guess I just could fill in that information again in the 
Account Information dialog to solve the problem.
