Your situation is addressed in XMPP standards [1], each jabber id includes a resource modifier, such that you can connect from multiple clients (or from a service). So if you login with [email protected]/myservice, then the server's messages to [email protected]/myserive, should only be addressed to you (optionally you can set a low priority). Well at least that is what the specs says, it can be that gtalk server implementation differ in some details. In any case you can use other public server, or provide your own.
