Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Unspecified Linux OS: Linux I have both Yahoo! and MSN buddy icons, both of which are different. I open a chat window, one tab an MSN buddy, one tab a Yahoo! buddy. Now, go into the Yahoo! buddy icon settings and change the icon. It will change the visual of the buddy icon for me in -both- chat tabs, but the icon for MSN does not change for the remote chat buddy. So, it looks like it's merely a display problem for the tabs, where the tabs are getting the buddy icon from the same place not the place correct for their protocol.
are you using the global identity feature?
Please update to newer version as we don't have manpower to support Kopete in KDE 3
