Bug Description

The default settings for a "Google Talk" protocol account do not work with google talk. If the "Google Talk" protocol is selected in pidgin the default settings should work with Google Talk.

Method to reproduce:
1. Start Pidgin

2. Accounts->Manage Accounts->Add

3. Settings as below:
Protocol: google talk
Username: apunchhtc

All other settings default.

4. Click Add

5. Click Close

6. Google Talk never connects

Expected: Pidgin should connect to google talk

The following settings are required for Google Talk to work, they should be the default:
* Advanced:

  - Connect Port: 443
  - Connect Server: talk.google.com
