The goal of the Gajim project is to provide a full-featured and easy to use XMPP client for GTK+ users. Gajim uses [[PyGTK]] as GUI library, so it does not require full [[GNOME]] to run, though it works nicely under a GNOME environment. Some of its features:
Gajim aims to be an easy to use and fully-featured XMPP client. Gajim uses [[PyGObject|GTK (PyGObject)]] as GUI library, which makes it cross-platform compatible. Some of its features:

===Third-party plugins===
==Security==
Gajim supports various third-party plugins ([https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim-plugins/-/wikis/home#plugins-list official list]).
Despite being written in [[Python (programming language)|Python]] (and thus generally invulnerable to [[buffer overflow]] attacks), Gajim has a history of a critical vulnerabilities. Up until late 2011, it was possible to forge a link such that when a receiving Gajim user clicks on it, arbitrary code would be executed on the Gajim user's machine.<ref>[[trac]] from gajim: [https://trac.gajim.org/ticket/7031 remote code execution]</ref>
