Thanks for the note.  After switching to using gtalk.conf instead of 
jingle.conf, and making the adjustments above, I find that the svn 
version of Asterisk dies with a core dump and backtrace when the XP 
Google Talk client tries to call it:

I'll try again with 1.4beta2...

If anyone else has a hint too, feel free to jump right in! :-)

Thanks,
