Anyone know of a good Jabber client library for Java (that works with Free implementations) or C# (that works with Mono) - and, more significantly, some clear understandable sample code for said library to implement a bot that can talk to people and react to things said to it, and respond to their presence or absence?

Jive Software Smack

Jive Software's smack library might be what you are looking for.

Wow

Yes, from looking at the Javadocs, that seems extraordinarily close to exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you!

Hmm one curious omission?

I don't (yet) see a way to register a listener to react when *anyone* talks to you - without knowing in advance who it'll be. The only place I can see to react to incoming messages is in the Chat class which must be created manually for a particular user. What am I missing?

Check the Spark client?

The Spark client uses Smack, and knows how to accept messages from users you haven't been chatting with. I assume it doesn't pre-create a Chat object for every user in the contacts list.
