Light Hawk is a KDE Jabber client. It is unfinished, but I have been using it every day for some time now.

Those interested in following or helping development should use GNU arch 1.2 or later. My archive is neil@hakubi.us--terminus and is available at http://www.hakubi.us/arch/terminus/. The branch to get is lighthawk--mainline.

To compile the arch version of Light Hawk you will also need to get neil@hakubi.us--terminus/admin--KDE-3-0-BRANCH and symlink that into the top level of lighthawk as "admin".

After that it's mostly an ordinary KDE application (run gmake -f Makefile.cvs to get a configure script). You must run that configure script in a separate directory, though, arch to cooperate later.

Here are some key features of "Light Hawk":
Roster management
Subscriptions
Chat messages
Receving normal messages
Multiple user profiles
Session management cooperation
Logging
KNotify support (including sounds)
Invisible status
Away messages
IPv6, Proxies, and other KDE network features
