Actually, the Pidgin plugin just uses Skype to place the call and calls
are conducted in the normal Skype window once connected. Video depends
on whether your Skype program can see your camera, not on the plugin.
I'd love to switch completely to Empathy, unfortunately I've not found a
pC to phone SIP provider that has anywhere close to the low cost Skype
has. Google talk is all well and good for computer to computer, but a
lot of people use Skype more as a land phone replacement these days.
