Well I will have to take offence to statement D.  I am the author of Kinkatta 
which is a aim client that uses TOC.  Although Kinkatta can't transfer file 
or get *icons* I think that the client is pretty darn good.  Some of the 
applications's design is a little ruff, but it was a learning project.  But 
above all else *I* didn't leave the Linux community with yet another half 
finshed application.  Kinkatta reached 1.0 stable.  Yes there is a bunch in 
cvs if I ever release 1.1, but 1.0 is out and released.  I know plenty of 
people who use Kinkatta and use it because they don't care to have something 
that is buggy or crashes on them.  I used TOC because I didn't care to play 
the legal game especially after AOL thretened to sue me.

Honestly I don't really see the point of including anything other then a 
Jabber client in KDE.
