OS:          Linux

[Ctrl]-[Backspace] deletes one character at a time instead of deleting an entire word.  This function is fairly standard and is quite useful for chatting...

I didn't know about this keyboard combination, but indeed QLineEdit provides 
it. Quite handy!

Anyway, this feature only seems to exist in KLineEdit, and Kopete uses 
QLineEdit in most places, or QTextEdit for the multi-line version. Both of 
these don't have it.

I consider it a Kopete if we're not using KLineEdit, but if you want this in 
the multiline edits too you need to report this bug to TrollTech as a Qt bug.

This works for me in the current Kopete CVS, so I closed the bug.
