[JDEV] Disney Jabber Client

[Aaron McBride]

After poking around some more, I've found that there is an option where you 
can set the server you want to use (under the Tools menu).

They could make it a little more obvious how to select a different server 
by putting it on the login form, but I guess I could understand why they 
wouldn't. (They'd want to know that their users are on their servers that 
and they are going to be kept running, right?)

As far as their servers not being connected to the rest of the network, I 
still haven't been able to send anything from within go's server out, or 
vice versa.

If someone at Jabber.com has contacts at Go, maybe they could politely 
suggest that their client would be a lot more popular if they were 
connected to the rest of the network.

PS - I just found the debug menu in the client too.  Now that's a nice 
feature. :)  (more props to the authors)
