I think this is a good wishlist. Gtalk and Facebook chat (all using XMPP) already have this feature on their own clients, both on web-based and native application. Some information http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0301.html#simultaneous_logins Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Chat with friend on facebook website 2. Chat with facebook friend through ktelepathy 3. See the different between conversation in facebook website and the one in ktelepathy text-ui Actual Results: The conversation is not synchronized between the two clients Expected Results: The conversation should be synchronized
If this is a request, it belongs upstream on https://bugs.freedesktop.org under the component telepathy-gabble as this is the upstream component that handles our jabber backends. However, first I would like to see some confirmation that GTalk is actually using this extension. They do have some custom extensions. A look at the output from the gabble logs didn't list this extension. Does any other client support this?
I do not use the Windows so I don't know about the WIndows' Gtalk client. But I do see the Talk application on my Android tablet and all the web-based chat windows are synchronized nicely together.
That does not rule out the possibility that it is a custom secret GTalk extension. This is the case for the backlogs.
If this is the correct fix, it needs doing upstream in telepathy-gabble at freedesktop.org
