No surprise, I guess. And libgloox on Feisty is notably less buggy than the
one from Edgy, which e.g. hangs on connection close.

I'm still logging everything that I don't understand. Chat with someone
using Google Talk and you're getting even more stuff. I know I'm supposed
to ignore in the XML what I don't know...

> 2) Neither authorization requesting nor granting is possible.

Yes. This is the most important missing part. Though getting rid of too
many dependancies would be nice as well, in particular since libgloox is
C++ :-( Which is the technical reason why XMPP is disabled in the
autopackage.

Yes. But you can add/authorize the contact via Miranda or any other client,
and then it will show up on mICQ. mICQ will simply add a contact it receives
status changes for.

> P.S.: this mail comes from a 'good' MUA supporting 'answer to list' ;-)

Yes :-)
