All greetings!
Why would not add to Kopete support X statuses? It's very convenient.
(X statuses are the pictures that show the current status
user. For example drink coffee, or left to walk. While pointing at
Images mouse reveals more information on the status). This
opportunity has been done possibility already in the client's QIP
(for Windows)
