Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gaim

I am unable to connect to any jabber client (including jabber.org with
strange and long usernames).  I have attempted to connect to google talk
without success.

Seems to be related to DNS... might not actually be a problem with gaim;
gaim can connect to other clients (AIM is working properly for me).  I
don't know if some other package I have installed in addition to base
system is the problem.  I have not added anything like dnsmasq or
anything that should interact with DNS at that level.

Here is gaim -d output from a session where I logged on, added my google
talk account (googlemail.com as server per directions at
http://www.google.com/support/talk/bin/answer.py?answer=24073), tried to
log on a couple more times, then closed the gaim windows and finally
closed gaim completely.
