This is true, and IMO, XMPP/Jingle is even better standard. Downside of
these compared to Skype is more or less total lack of encryption for the
actual voice RTP stream. I would hope that SRTP would be used more, but
establishing the key infrastructure to support it can be a bit complex...
Empathy (http://live.gnome.org/Empathy) is "the" Telepathy client for
the Linux desktop. Telepathy + Farsight is a framework to handle
IM/presence/call signaling and streaming.
