So I noticed that Ksirk has (fundamental) Jabber integration, but it requires that you log in separately from Kopete: it would be nice if it would connect to Jabber using a configured Jabber account in Kopete, or even the same library/connection, without needing to log in separately.

After some research, I also noticed that Gnome is starting to implement something like this in its desktop and applications, and a (fundamental) implementation already exists in its Sudoku game. It would be nice if e.g. KSudoku could communicate transparently with Gnome Sudoku over the Jabber network, as well as other, similar KDE/Gnome games.

Sounds like something Telepathy could help with.

Yes, it could. If it's desktop-agnostic, it aught to be used rather then duplicating efforts. At least, I think that's consistent with the rest of KDE 4 as of yet...

I know that there is a group working on telepathy in KDE, there have been some posts on planet KDE and the like about it. This is probably the "right thing" here.

We're actually working towards this. (slowly).

There's a demo telepathy app called "kwhiteboard" which shows creating a TCP connection between two applications using jabber backends.

Moving this towards KDE games is now a "trivial" (in theory, not in practice) task.
