I've looked up the relevant server code and clauses in the RFCs, and
sent mail to the jabberd list explaining the problem, and why the server
may be being too picky.  I got one developer response which seemed
sympathetic, but there's no trivial fix for the general problem, so it
may be a while before we see movement.

While we wait for either Adium or jabberd to budge, we can install a
hack on the server to make c2s recognize google:talk:notify iq queries
and respond to them without worrying about whether there's an active
session.  I will work on that change tomorrow.  (The jwgc code makes for
a nice easy test harness, fortunately.)
