Yes, I have this problem on all servers, tested with rooms on
jabber,org, jabber.ru, jabbim.com, jabber.ccc.de it make no differents.
(Tested with Login server jabber.org, jabber.ru and jabbim.com)

Yes, this XEP-0198 seems to be the right way, bit I am not sure if this
really fix the problems:
a) I see the room and the users, but my messages are not send to the
room.
b)or I reconnect to a room and the room is empty.

I must admit, I compare a jabber room a little bit with a IRC channel
and I never have similiar problems with an IRC channel. ;)
