I don't like kdeextragear because it's the direct opposite of KDE's intent
to provide not just a framework with its releases, but a complete
environment *including* applications.

"IMHO a GUI should offer a complete, graphical environment. It should allow
a users to do his everyday tasks with it, like starting applications,
reading mail, configuring his desktop, editing some files, delete some
files, look at some pictures, etc.  All parts must fit together and work
together." -- Matthias Ettrich, 10/14/1996

I'd consider instant messaging to be an everyday task. Such functionality
should be part of KDE and included in KDE releases.
