This is a simple bug that's easily fixed. It attempts to read the IP address and password after the dialog has already been closed, i.e. after calling dialog.destroy(). It works if you make it read those fields before closing the dialog. See plugins/network.py line 344.
I had it working fine UI-wise, but having noticed the abandoned state of the project I decided on an apt-get purge rather than installing on other machines and testing further, so I can't say if there are more bugs. Aside from this bug, it seems to be from reading the code that it makes connections when glipper starts up and throws them away if the connection breaks. So I don't see how it's going to be useful in practice, unless none of the machines involved ever reboot.
