Hi,

I'd like to discuss using empathy as the default IM client again :-)
Last time, we didn't make the switch because it was not totally ready.
But lots of work has happened in the meantime and empathy has some cool
new features:
Limitations that were blocking this in the past were:

+ file transfer (implemented now)
+ a bit buggy (should work fine now)
+ (?)

You motivated me to test it again... so
$ sudo zypper in empathy

$ empathy
I also got motivated and installed it, played a little bit but seems
that some features are missing: I just can't add an IRC account even
when the import dialog lists my Pidgin's IRC accounts, and the Import
dialog isn't working or something because clicking OK does nothing.

sudo zypper in telepathy-idle

I'll file a bug about the UI issue for importing the irc account when
the backend is not installed.

And I'll make empathy recommend or suggst telepathy-idle.

Vincent
