Gajim crashes when trying to enable an account

This does not happen with the flatpak version.
Dino is also an option that works.
I would, however, prefer using gajim, specifically the version in the repo, not flatpak.
It may be a shallow reason but... Gajim and the flatpak gajim don't seem to want to follow my system theme.
Plasma, if that helps.
I'm open to other user friendly xmpp clients though.

And when you run it in the terminal, does it show any errors?
Tutorial on how to change the theme of the flatpak app.
Alternatives to gajim. Of course, not all of them are in the repo, but there are, for example: Pidgin, Dino.

Thank you for your time!
Starting gajim has the following output:
`** (gajim:14530): WARNING **: 10:02:10.930: expected enumeration type void, but got PyGLibOptionArg instead

** (org.gajim.Gajim:14530): CRITICAL **: 10:02:10.957: gst_base_auto_convert_register_filter: assertion 'g_strcmp0 (name, ((GstAutoConvertFilterInfo *) tmp->data)->name)' failed

** (org.gajim.Gajim:14530): CRITICAL **: 10:02:11.014: gst_base_auto_convert_register_filter: assertion 'g_strcmp0 (name, ((GstAutoConvertFilterInfo *) tmp->data)->name)' failed`

Once I try to enable the account I get this on the terminal, followed by gajim committing seppuku:
[1] 14530 segmentation fault (core dumped) gajim
I tried looking up the last line and found two thread on arch based systems and their solution was to install a different version of gajim from aur, I'll temporarily use the flatpak version but I'd rather fix the official repo one.

Hmmm, I cannot reproduce the error in my plasma VM. It works fine for me. I am filing a PR to update it to 1.9.5. Try again later when it is get merged and synced to shannon(stable). Cheers!
