Kopete hangs really long at startup when initialising webcam. If a user don't want webcam support at all thats a annoying. So it would be great if there's an option to just disable the whole webcam subsystem in kopete.

ya that could be a very nice option to add

We recently introduced the possibility to compile Kopete without video-support.

Adding a runtime switch wouldn't make sense, simply don't use video devices if you don't want to.

The "hangs on startup" bug is tracked as bug 167011.
