ICQ, IRC, sometimes MSN and Skype. It always bugged me to have 2 programs open. Pidgin for all protocols except Skype and Skype.

Today I found a really good working plug-in for Pidgin which allows you to use the most Skype features directly from Pidgin: http://code.google.com/p/skype4pidgin/

You still need Skype to be running, but you got all you contacts in you Pidgin list. If you make a call the standard Skype dialog appears, all message communication is done via the usual Pidgin conversation windows.
