Version: 0.50.80 (using 4.1.00 (KDE 4.0.99 (4.1 RC1+)) "release 13.3", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.0) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.5-1.1-pae in kopete/kde4, there is only one icon for all protocols, and so much unused space in the contact-list-window (where the status-icon is displayed). with kopete/kde3 it was much easier, to control, with which account to go online/offline and to do protocol-specific settings.
I tried the recent (svn) kopete again, and you have done it (an option to display the protocols instead of identities)! Thanks!! I will close this bug.
