The KDE Telepathy packages are ktp-*. I don't like that naming either but it's what upstream uses so that's what Fedora uses.

KDE Telepathy is the preferred instant messenger although Kopete is still available (just not installed by default). KDE Telepathy should be installed by default and should show up in your system tray (it's a round symbol). If it's not there you can add it in the system tray settings. The account settings should be accessible from both that system tray icon and in system settings under IM Settings I believe...
