Just found Facebook Chat for Pidgin – a plugin for the popular Pidgin (formerly Gaim) multi-network IM client.
It allows you to chat to your friends on Facebook using Pidgin rather than the little chat widget on the Facebook site, and supports showing the profile picture and current status etc too. Very nice stuff.

Thanks for sharing this plugin. Useful tool
