It is pretty much easy to add GTalk to the sidebar in Firefox [1], but if you are a Opera [2] user there are no widgets available to do that currently.

The WongSK blog has a excellent tutorial that will help you add GTalk to the sidebar panel in Opera. To add GTalk to the Opera sidebar, follow the simple instructions below.

    1. Enable Panel view in the Sidebar, you can do this by click the tools icon in the left hand side corner of the browser.
    2. Right click the panel and click customize.
    3. Click on the Add Web Panelbutton.
    4. Give the panel a name and add the GTalk gadget URL ( http://talkgadget.google.com/talkgadget/client?fid=gtalk0&relay=http://www.google.com [3]) as the address and click on Ok button.

Once you have followed these steps, a new icon will be displayed in the panel, clicking on the new icon should display GTalk in Opera sidebar.
