My laptop has a built in camera, and if it didn't there are those little USB things, and ports to plug in a head set so I would like to stream audio and video and share my desktop with a specific individual so that we could 'pair' program.

All the collaborative coding I've done has been using XMPP;  most other
tools end up being more in the way than they help.  I've used Ekiga a
few times,  but always found that coding while someone is talking at you
isn't very comfortable/productive.

The only thing I've ever missed is some kind of whiteboard and the
ability to automatically log my chat logs into the project repository or
related groupware server.
