Gmail chat won't sign-in

[Ethan Blanton]

Heather Allison spake unto us the following wisdom:
> Set up pidgin yesterday --- all my accounts working fine. Anyone know why I
> can't, now, connect to my google chat any longer? hasn't worked since
> initial sign-in.
> I've tried modifying / re-entering my information multiple times; tried
> re-setting up the account; it won't connect.

You are going to need to tell us what happens when it fails, for us to
be able to answer this.  What error message are you getting?  If you
are not getting an error message, what are the symptoms that lead you
to believe that it is not connecting?
