How the hell does Jabber s2s / federation work?

I have my gmail account, I have my livejournal account, I even have a jabber.org account. I know livejournal is federated with google talk. Only gaim doesn't easily explain in the UI how the hell I sign in to my google talk account but talk to my contacts at livejournal.

What am I missing and why does this suck?

Update: What I really want is buddy adding UI hints.

I discovered that later, but the interface gave me no clue that I could do that. :(
