Thanks for this info, this thread brought the ktp-line of packages to my 
attention and to much delight it works with our jabber server which kopete 
doesn't.  But, to my suprise when I try to open a chat through the contact 
list plasma applet it starts empathy-chat which is a gnome app.  Any hints on 
what I'm missing here?  Is there a "pure" KDE solution?

I'm still on KDE 4.8.5.
