I just went through 8 hours testing to find a usable jabber/xmpp application. My requirements are that it actually works and that it is capable of auto reconnect. The results are not pretty. I thought I should share them anyway.

latest version: unavailable - website broken
old version: error - network failure unknown (317)
note: most versions you can find online are the RU version
im+
latest version (WAP site): will install - registration will work if you have a valid key, is slow, crashes sometimes
latest version (website): will not install - is standard version so it won't work for pro
latest version (internet search): will not install - just says cannot be installed
old version (mine): error - cannot connect to registration server
beejive: could not activate - unable to get key
bombus (bombus-ng): download link broken
Ebuddy: download link broken
Palringo: requires login account to Palringo thus it is totally insecure and useless
As you can see, there are no Free software XMPP clients available for this God-forsaken OS. The best choice would be the latest IM+ downloaded through WAP if you already have a license or are willing to pay for one. I hope this helps someone so they don't have to go through this like I did.
