Comment:

 Google Talk is failing to send us one of the stanzas we need.

 Compare the connection process at
 [http://developer.pidgin.im/attachment/ticket/9031/purple-debug.log#L202
 line 202] (where you see pidgin send an XML header and a <stream:stream>
 stanza, followed by Google Talk returning <stream:stream> and
 <stream:features> stanzas) against the connection process at
 [http://developer.pidgin.im/attachment/ticket/9031/purple-debug.log#L120
 line 120] (where you see pidgin sending the XML header and <stream:stream>
 stanza but Google Talk returning only a <stream:stream> stanza) and you
 will see the problem.

 pidgin expects to be told what stream features the server supports and
 Google Talk appears not to be doing that, which means pidgin waits until
 it times out.

 I have no idea why Google Talk would be doing this but this isn't
 something pidgin can reasonably do anything about.
