I've used Pidgeon a long time ago on another distribution but that was 
just to have a look at it. I haven't done anything to explicitly 
activate Jabber and as far as I am aware I have never used it in any 
previous version of Fedora from F18, it just appeared on first startup 
after doing a Fedup upgrade from F20 to F21.
