There is a plugin for libpurple enabling communication with Facebook chat (non-XMPP, late 2015). This would be very useful for a lot of users. The URL for the plugin is https://github.com/jgeboski/purple-facebook This, and Bug 347317 as well, are the only holdouts that are forcing me to use Pidgin. Thanks for everything! Reproducible: Always
I guess everyone here knows this, but on the remote case someone don't: there's also a facebook plugin for bitlbee that is working right now (https://github.com/bitlbee/bitlbee-facebook). Maybe the solution hadn't necessarily involve the purple mechanism. I don't know which of them would be more reliable, but it's just to have the bitlbee one in mind. I agree too about this and the whatsapp thing (As far as I know, Bitlbee is planning to support Whatsapp on its core, and there's some python plugin for it since a few months) are holding me back to use KTP, since I of the services it supports I just have GTalk/Hangouts. And seems many people are in this situation, too.

Oh, and seems someone was doing a Telepathy-Qt connection manager for KTP already, but abandoned: https://github.com/WeedBilbaoGaming/KtP-facebook-GraphAPI
