Comment (by Berbe):

 The X-GOOGLE-TOKEN header seems to be part of the deprecated ClientLogin
 auth mechanism from Google. (source:
 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12358429/google-talk-xmpp-what-is-x
 -google-token)

 Talk servers XMPP features message indicates that both X-GOOGLE-TOKEN and
 X-OAUTH2 authentication mechanisms are supported and the latter is thus
 recommended

 The generic handshake flow is available here:
 https://developers.google.com/cloud-print/docs/rawxmpp

 What you need now is to have OAuth2 support in Pidgin, dunno if that is
 already there.

 Using Wireshark, I noticed the Talk client is requesting several DNS
 entries:
 mail.google.com
 talkx.l.google.com
 googlemail.l.google.com
 (alt1.)talk.l.google.com
 www.google.com
 filetransferenabled.mail.google.com

 The OAuth2 mechanism could then help bridging those different services
 Dunno if that could help...
