I am in exactly the same boat as you. Never got Kopete or KDE Telepathy to 
work with XMPP, granted KTp as packaged is pretty old ATM. There is a new 
XMPP-centric KDE program called Kaidan [1] that looks very nice.

It already supports Jingle. I was able to build it from source a while ago, 
all deps are packaged and it just needed a library version from experimental.
They produce their own not-necessarily-high-quality/automatic debs upstream. I 
asked them here [2] if they'd talked to anyone about packaging it in Debian 
proper, or if it were a good idea since Kaidan is still semi-betaish.

I didn't hear back but it looks very promising.
