I'm not sure. I think even if you don't open Empathy, it will connect |
| 43 |
you, and then you will receive messages through the notification |
| 44 |
system. |

Mmmh. Google Chat is not like IRChat. It's more like messenger; you |
| 50 |
have your contacts, and you can chat with them and them with you. |

No, and I don't think it will ever be possible. Skype uses a |
| 55 |
proprietary protocol, and (AFAIK), there are not 3rd-party clients for |
| 56 |
it. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
However, Google Chat allows voice-talk, and it works really well. The |
| 59 |
video conference support is more immature, but I hope it will work |
| 60 |
eventually. |
