So before we get into a comparison, it is useful to try out the > version in Rawhide. Fedora 12 Alpha should be out soon. Well in the F-12 version when connected to gtalk I can't communicate with contacts. I can see them but if I start a chat with them they don't see anything from me. I need to test it further as the person I was trying to chat to is on a 3rd party jabber server which is syndicated to google's servers. That is a show stopper for me. The other thing I need is to be able to do a one off import of all my IM logs as I reference them regularly, there's a bug that for that though so there is some movement on it.
