Arch FTW !
So finally Google got their act together and released a googletalk plugin for GNU/Linux systems – they released it for Ubuntu. A sensible option since a large number of desktop GNU/Linux users use Ubuntu. They might make an RPM available. So what about the Arch people ?
Aah. Thats the point 
cpcgm goes ahead and creates a PKGBUILD and puts it on AUR. You can look at it here and install it (if you have yaourt ) using
yaourt -S google-talkplugin
This – the self dependence and readiness to understand and fix the systems – is why Arch has the best documentation around , and at the same time a small,close community. I love being a part of it
