Empathy is a UI around an IM platform which totally replaces the
single-application model of pidgin, ekiga, gossip and every other IM
client. With Empathy I can go online when I login and using the same
Jabber connection chat in Empathy, see presence in Evolution, and
transfer files in nautilus. I'll be logged into the Jabber server once,
and the connection is shared between them.
My only issues with Empathy are stability and features, but I'm +100 for
including Empathy in a future GNOME release.
Oh, and Pidgen isn't part of GNOME.
