KDE-Forum.org

I had this problem the first time I tried to connect. I restarted KDE and it's been working ever since. Oh, and I nuked all my old ~/.kde stuff so 3.2 created it all brand new, that might be the key.

Not likely. The IM market and the voice chat market and different animals. Personally I prefer to have text IM so I can talk/work while having a conversation. Plus there's no real standard here and since the number of kopete users is relatively small, the odds are slim. So don't count on the core developers doing it. But if someone else wanted to it might happen. Just use gnomemeeting for now.

I just don't compile kopete from source. It's just not worth it. Maybe once they get to version 1 things will be better, but even when it seems to compile cleanly and installs, weird stuff still happens. I just get binary packages and be done with it. IMO, if there's something missing that'll make the program squirly then it should just fail to compile, not half work. So, my advise is to download the binary and be happy.

I'm using kopete in kde 3.2 and I like it. There are two things I would suggest: 1. The key binding configuration being in the chat window may be organizationaly intuitive, but most apps like (sorry) gaim have all the options in one place, and I think many users are used to haveing centralized options. So would it be possible to move it all to the central configuration screen? In order for the current separation to be consistent, you'd have to move the chat style configuration there as well, or ...
