This is because Swiften's an async API - the connect() call returns
immediately, and you get told when the connection completes with the
onConnected signal; only once it's connected will isAvailable() be
true. I imagine you want to move that block of code into a
handleConnected method, connect to the onConnected signal, and it
should work much better - there's a walkthrough at
http://swift.im/swiften/guide/ that will probably help with this.
