Yeah, there's also a client called Empathy which does a similar thing

I don't think so, no.

That's what i did. I enabled it on my machine and my wifes, and now when
we're online we get a new category in pidgin called "Bonjour".

I have no idea. :)
At a guess I suspect it uses Avahi in the same way that OSX uses
Rendezvous/Zeroconf to do this ad-hoc stuff. It's similar to the way
that Rhythmbox/Banshee can show you people nearby who have shared their
music out using iTunes(*) or other Rhythmbox/Banshee people.
It's rather cool stuff.

Al.
(*) Except iTunes 7 which Apple have deliberately broken.
