Oh and somebody should update that table, Kopete is a KDE client, not
a Gnome one (and it is outdated), please add kde-telepathy, see also
http://dot.kde.org/2012/08/27/5th-release-kde-telepathy-instant-messaging-suite
and http://community.kde.org/Real-Time_Communication_and_Collaboration.
I use it here on Kubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 beta2.
