Comment (by seanegan):

 Replying to [comment:5 ealtin]:
 > I don't think adding GTalk icons, if any, is needed. The real problem I
 see is, it's really tricky to configure a google talk account. The user
 has to set screen name, server and connect server to make it work.

 That's not true. You have to add your screen name, and server. The
 "Connect server" is determined automatically. The only thing to make it
 easier would be to allow you to add username at domain.com. I forget why we
 don't do that.

 > I believe the same should apply to this, Pidgin UI should make it
 obvious that it supports Google Talk as well. We all know that GTalk is
 actually XMPP, but the average user does not.

 I agree, but I've been vetoed. Anyway, your arguments contradict. First
 you say that the problem is that Google Talk is too difficult to configure
 (which it isn't), rather than it not being obviously supported. Then you
 say the problem is that it isn't obviously supported. Whcih is it?
