No - also needs the more recent version of python-telepathy than is in the dev repo and the papyon package. I made the butterfly deb for you because that's the one that needed xsltproc that you were having trouble with.

I'm guessing, but I think that perhaps there has been a change to the MSN chat protocol and the telepathy boys 'n' girls haven't synched up their code to it yet.
I am logged in right now, but i'm using the HEAD of papyon (python-papyon package on ubuntu). That's where the protocol is implemented: butterfly's just a wrapper I think. The papyon source package I linked to earlier has a nice test script that will connect to msn and try to download an avatar from a contact. If that works then you should be able to log in.

On the desktop I use msn-pecan. Used than on my n900 too. I find it's more up-to-date and a bit quicker to log in than the others. I hope Felipe will get around to porting it to harmattan soon...
