Pidgin with XEP-0280 Message Carbons
If you have multiple clients connected to a jabber server with XEP-0280 enabled, you may want to receive all messages on all clients. ATM, Pidgin does not support this, but there’s a patch available. I’m just picking up this comment on how to build it:

You can find prebuilt packages here in my repo.
