Do a safe boot first. Hold the "shift" key when the Mac chimes at start up. Release the shift key when the wheel starts spinning, restart when the log in screen appears.

You have reinstalled iChat, but the Graphics update has not run with this version of iChat.
Log in with your admin account to make sure you have permissions to do this:

Use time machine to restore iChat from your application folder.

Run software update when your done. Check the manual that describes how to do this, I haven't done this yet.

I just had this happen. It affected anything that tried to load pieces of iLife.

The file: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Frame works/ImageKit.framework

is actually a symlink to a location based on the mounted label of your primary volume where OS X is installed. The path linked to is rooted at /Volumes/LabelName.

I renamed my start up volume which caused the issue. Changing the volume label back to what it was originally (e.g. "Macintosh HD") fixed my problem.
