Well looks like no one reads this forum but i'll try any way, I've found I can do this using dcop. In the svn version I can set the global name, but really I want to be able to set the "Personal Message" in MSN. Does kopete have the dcop function availble for me to do this? can't find anywhere which lists the DCOP calls availble for kopete and kdcop hangs when I try running it.
