When you create new account in "Basic Tab" choose
Protocol : XMPP
Username : your_username
Domain: gmail.com
You can leave Resource and Password fields blank

Now in Advanced Tab
XMPP Options
check "Require SSL/TLS"
uncheck "Force old (port 5223) SSL"
check "Allow plain text auth"
Connect Port: 5222
Connect Server: talk.google.com

You can leave other fields blank.
If you are not using proxy, then leave proxy settings unchanged.
