Intrepid+1 approaches-- is it too late to reconsider Empathy for inclusion?
I just tried the newest version of Empathy and things look a lot better!
File transfers now work and it picks up my webcam/mic!

Something else that I haven't seen brought up yet is a migration path to
empathy. I've seen indications that it uses a purple backend (above), so
will all pidgin settings just translate over?
It that above indication was incorrect, is there a tool for doing the
migration? If not, I would expect
Empathy looks great from what I've seen and read. But:
* it seems to have no protocol backends by default when I open 'Edit > Accounts'
* it doesn't look like it can import all the settings I already have
configures for Pidgin.

I would personally be worried switching from one program to the next

A little while back Gaim was renamed to Pidgin, which I'm sure

I think Empathy is perfectly stable at this point, but doesn't have quite as

It took a long time for ekiga to work properly.
I've been testing empathy as well.
It doesn't give me an option to have it figure out who each ICQ number
pertains to (i.e. what their nickname is). That would be a really
