Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pidgin
When I added an account to pidgin I specified that I want an google talk
protocol.
Inserted all info and hit the save button.
In the accounts window I get an Protocol: XMPP and not the google talk icon.
Why? I repeated the process several times but keeps placing the XMPP
ptorocol type.
Note: everything works ok but why it does not say Google Talk and google's icon
if I said so?
This is very very confusing to me. As a normal user, i have no idea what xmpp
mean and don't want to know. If I select "Google talk" from the combo, i want
it to be "Google talk" and not something else.
I am using Ubuntu 8.04 final (clean install)
P.S: if you say that well gtalk actually is xmpp, well I'll say that from the
user's point of view you are wrong because :
He sees a label saying "Protocol:" and a box from where he chooses "Google
Talk", result:
Protocol: Google Talk
This is a usability bug!
