All you need to do is add your gmail contacts to your buddy list (add
them as contact type: Jabber) and you can chat with them the exact
same way as you would any other IM contact.

If anyone is wondering about the settings, add a new account and set
the following:

Protocol: jabber
Screen Name: <Account Name, stuff before the @gmail.com>
Server: gmail.com
Resource: Gaim
Password: <Email Account Password>
Alias: <Nickname>

Under show more options

Port: 5222
Connect Server: talk.google.com

Anyway hope that helps anyone wanting to use the Google Talk instant
messenger service with gaim.

Cheers
Rav
