As stated above. I need something similar to Google talk and it should be more stable than empathy. I dont like Pidgin, for it's interface makes it difficult to set statuses more often... Please let me have the entire list of IM clients that run on Ubuntu.
Google Talk uses the XMPP (Jabber) standardized protocol; the following is a complete list of the IM clients in the Ubuntu repositories which should support Google Talk.
Please note that some of these are command-line (console) clients; I have highlighted the ones I know are graphical (or GUI) in bold:
ayttm - Universal instant messaging client
barnowl - A curses-based tty Jabber, IRC, AIM and Zephyr client
centerim - A text-mode multi-protocol instant messenger client
ekg2 - instant messenger and IRC client for UNIX systems
finch - text-based multi-protocol instant messaging client
freetalk - console based Jabber client
gajim - Jabber client written in PyGTK
jwchat - a full featured, web-based Jabber chat client
kadu - Gadu-Gadu/XMPP client for X11
kopete - instant messaging and chat application
licq - multi-protocol instant messaging client (base files)
