Pidgin, libpurple, and Finch use a different set of terms from the  
protocols (in this case, XMPP). An XMPP chat is a 1:1 conversation  
('im' in libpurple et al.) and an XMPP groupchat is a multi-user chat  
('chat' in libpurple et al.).

I'm not familiar enough with the intricacies of the perl-fu to know  
why your conversation creation doesn't work.
