Sugar will first run both telepathy-salut and telepathy-gabble. The salut connection manager will use peer-to-peer connections for presence and collaboration, doesn't need a server but is limited to the local area network. The gabble connection manager will try to connect to the jabber server specified in the control panel and if it succeeds, Sugar will shutdown salut and only use gabble. If gabble fails, the salut one keeps running. For 99% of users, presence and collaboration should just work, but people setting up the environment like conferences, computer labs, etc. should take this behavior into account. And the UI should somehow make it clearer what is going on. Yeah, could you please enter a ticket about this? If you have any suggestions about how to improve here, please add them to the ticket.
