           Summary: Google Talk Accounts Fail To Add (SECURITY RISK
                    USN+PW>Jabber)
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: telepathy
           Version: unspecified

Can't add Google Talk account.  I know GTalk is decommissioned but they still
work for Hangouts.

If I add an account it fails.  If I look in Ubuntu's Unity Control Panel the
account is added as a  'Jabber' account for every GTalk account I add in KDE IM
control panel area or Account Manager of the Telephony menu in tray. The onyl
way to get it to work is use Ubuntu to create the accounts to use in KDE
Telephony.  This could be a security issue as jabber is being passed usernames
and passwords.

SECURITY RISK as PASSWORDS and USERNAMES passed to JABBER

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create GTalk account refrence in Accounts Manager of Telephony settings
2. Account fails to authenticate
3. Look in Ubuntu's Control Panel area for Online Accounts and it has made the
wrong type, a Jabber account but shows GTalk icon in KDE
Actual Results:  
Jabber account made not a GTalk, even though shows in KDE telephony as GTalk. 

Expected Results:  
Should create a GTalk/Hangouts account reference to use in KDE Telephony

0.6.1 is the version of KDE Telephony.  Using Kubuntu 13.04
