NAME
xtalk - X Window System BSD compatible talk client, written in Python.
SYNOPSIS
xtalk [user[@address[ tty]]
DESCRIPTION
When started, xtalk won’t actually try to connect until you click on
the "Connect" button in the program. xtalk accepts addresses in the
same format as the regular BSD talk program. From in the program you
can enter the address in the "Address" entry. At any point during a
talk session, clicking on "Disconnect" disconnects the session.
The format of a talk address is as follows. To talk to a user on the
same host, just use "username" as the address. To talk to a user on
another host, use "username@hostname" as the address. If the user is
logged in several times, you can specify which tty to "page" them on by
saying "username tty" or "username@hostname tty".

BUGS
From user point of view, it seems that his own text in the window is
editable, whereas in fact it is not.
