Empathy
Tried of using linux based instant messengers like pidgin etc. to give you gtalk 'chat' services but not voice services ? Will things are changing with the introduction of Empathy - you can chat away on google talk (including voice chats),msn, yahoo etc. all in the one IM program. I've also read there is talk of it replacing pidgin as the default IM in the forthcoming gnome release too.
