Problems connecting just downloaded

[Tres Finocchiaro]

@Madikane,

Google talk uses XMPP.  The drop-down option is only offered as a
convenience.

Despite how strange it looks, it is correct by switching to XMPP.  If you
have connectivity problems it is very likely they are caused by something
unrelated to this observation.
