The gaim 2.0 betas support Cyrus-SASL and GSSAPI/Kerberos authentication
with Jabber. You get the standard single sign-on bliss and solve the
plain text password stored in ~/.gaim/accounts.xml problem.

If FC5 is shipping gaim v1.5 would you apply a patch to it to add
GSSAPI/Kerberos Jabber authentication support?

We use both 2.0 beta and the 1.5+patch here at our office against our
kerberized Jabber server. We love it.
