Hi All,

Is there way of setting up a VoIP talk session with another person who is
using Google Talk?  He is running the Google Talk Windoze application.

Well, there will be, i guess. Someday in the future, GAIM will include
GoogleTalk/libjingle support, i guess.

At present, you may try to use WINE.

Thanks Sven, I've tried WINE but can't even connect to use IM, let alone
VoIP.  :-(

I found this on the Gaim FAQ's:
===============================
How do I use Google Talk? 
Create a Jabber account as per Google's FAQ. The Audio component is not
currently supported and will not be until 1)the protocol is published and
2)Gaim-vv is ready for mainstream use.
===============================
from http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq.php#q17

Unless I can troubleshoot Google Talk in WINE I'll have to wait it seems.

If you don't mind using beta stuff then I just saw this on gentoo forums
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-442920.html

Do tell us if it works.

Does anyone know if jingle support is in any gnome app?

Well, i've heard Google is working on using Wine to bring their apps to
Linux - well, they could have developed cross-platform-apps right from
the start, but they didn't :-(

I think GAIM 2.1 will include it. At least i've heard, that they
currently work on integrating gaim-vv to GAIM 2.1.
(and i have no clue, when it will be released)
