Is there a good program for Gnome that provides cross-platform instant messaging and video chat?
This rules out Skype and aMSN, as well as any other app that's specific for the ICQ/AOL Network. Kopete is for KDE. Pidgin doesn't intend to develop video-chat, I haven't found a plugin for it that provides video, and Gaim-vv hasn't been developed in over two years and is so out of date that it's still going by Gaim and not Pidgin.

Do Slashdot readers have an application that meets these needs? Maybe even one that surpasses iChat?"
