I'm trying really hard to get along with a pure KDE environment. For example, I've never used kmail until now. It's seems a lot slower than thunderbird, but is working OK.
This morning I tried to setup chatting. Kopete is a no-go as it doesn't support google-chat. Pidgin isn't a KDE app so doesn't integrate well. Then I found "Instant Messaging" in System Settings and entered my Gmail chat acct. info and it seems to work. I guess it's the telepathy interface? Cool, but the system tray icon shows continually "connecting." I don't really know if it's working or not. The "Enable local network discovery" doesn't seem to work at all (continually shows "connecting") and I don't really know what it's supposed to do.
If I select "Contacts" in the Lancelot menu, I get email access with one click which is cool, but the "Online Contacts" only gets me and error message "Malformed URL." I assume this means that the menu link is not correct somewhere. Ultimately, I think is should open the Telepathy window but again, I'm not sure what's it's supposed to do.
The other Lancelot issue is under Computer> System; System Settings, KinfoCenter, and Ksysguard are all listed twice. I've gone into the Lancelot settings and deleted them but the always re-appear and in duplicate. The are in the lancelot menu settings only once, but they appear twice in the menu and can't be deleted. This is bugging the crap out of me.
UPDATE: Removing the local network discovery changes the tray status to available so I guess that's working.
