I have wondered the same.  I've come to the conclusion that only certain

I have wondered if it were something that Pidgin could do, by itself,
using some particular protocol, and only use one of the instant
messenger messages to send the invite through.

 Hello,
 
 Using fdisk I create a partition of 59Go (/dev/sdxy)
 Then I do a pvcreate /dev/sdxy)
 pvdisplay says:
 /dev/sdb7 is a new physical volume of 38.00 GiB
 
 This probably results from a previous partitioning.

Maybe you just repartitioned and missed the fdisk message
about the fact that the new partition table will be
active at next reboot. It happens if some other partitions
on the disk are in use.
In that case 38GiB is the size of the old /dev/sdb7.
Be careful.

Use cat /proc/partitions to display how the disk is seen
by the system in this moment.

I don't know about the other services, but the XMPP based google
accounts used to work (a bit buggy though).  But by the time libpurple
managed to work out the bugs, Google started pushing hangouts for
audio/video calls, and at some point they removed video calls over XMPP.

Prsently I don't quite know if this works with other XMPP account
providers like jabber.

I'm a newcomer to Fedora and still learning its ways so excuse me if my
question sounds stupid.
Now, I want to remove GNOME from my install as I use i3; from what I saw
there's no gnome-group or similar goup available, how should I proceed?

I don't know why no one else has mentioned this already. In my opinion
it is much easier to install a minimal set, and then build your desktop
as needed rather than install the default, and get rid of Gnome.

I'm an XFCE user (with lightdm as login manager), and everytime I did a
fresh install, I used the minimal image. You can even do a network
install. During that I simply select the gui packages I need (some
subset of XFCE for me). This way I have a very small set of gnome
packages.

$ rpm -qa gnome\* | wc -l
18

I know 18 is not a very accurate count, but it is more or less there.
Since you are using i3, I bet you can get the list to be even shorter!
Often people say disk space is cheap, why bother? I have a tiny 20 gig
/ on my laptop, so it does matter to me. On my desktop, I don't care.

Hope this helps,

Yeah, my answer to most of these how do I do this complex reconfiguration thing with a box I've dicking
around with for two days and have all sorts fo stuff gumming up the works questions is usually
reinstall. For me, anyway, it takes, what, 30 mins to reinstall Fedora insert spin here
without the gunk I wish I hadn't added, but four or five hours chasing dependencies and stuff trying to
clean a system that has a couple hundred packages installed I decided I didn't want.

A clean install is the chicken soup of system administration, IMHO.
