I just installed this on 11.10 and it is excellent. http://i.imgur.com/E4jPT.png http://i.imgur.com/9ku0X.png
Very impressed. I've chosen Pidgin for years because Empathy for Ubuntu didn't work with SIPE (perhaps this has since changed). I did encounter one anomoly though.. I was running Ubuntu with Kubuntu-Desktop installed. Perhaps its because they share libraries, but KDE listed the application running (when mail icon is clicked) as Empathy, when I clicked Empathy, the gnome app popped up. KDE Telepathy however wasn't in the system tray. Also, when I was prompted to connect to an untrusted source (not sure why it said that for gtalk), it appeared in a GTK/gnome dialog. I already like this better than Kopete. Big fan, keep up the good work. I will try to use SIPE tomorrow when I have Microsoft Communicator available. -Tres On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 7:07 PM, Scott Kitterman <[email protected]>wrote: > On Wednesday, February 15, 2012 11:52:59 PM David Edmundson wrote: > > On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 11:40 PM, Scott Kitterman <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > On Wednesday, February 15, 2012 09:47:06 PM David Edmundson wrote: > > >> > I want OTR support, but I understand that's not happening. > > >> > > >> It is not in the near future. > > >> I seriously don't see why everyone gets so het up about this, I've yet > > >> to meet anyone who actually uses OTR, it only works if both parties > > >> use it so it's only nerds talking to nerds. > > > > > > I mention it because I use it on a roughly daily basis, so you've now > > > 'met' someone. > > > > I probably shouldn't have been quite so off hand about it, it's one of > > the constantly brought up "requirements" that everyone talks about > > no-one volunteers to actually do such that I'm fed up of talking about > > it. > > > > It's something that needs to be done upstream at the telepathy level, > > only then can we do our GUI layers upon on it. > > There was an upstream GSOC project last year, stuff exists in a branch > > but it was never merged.
