Description Krishna Sethuraman 2005-02-23 02:55:43 UTC

Version:           0.9.2 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Sometimes (say, if I'm tweaking my iptables configuration and cycling eth0), I'll be silently disconnected from various IM services.  Of particular note, I believe the MSN plugin produces a message to that effect in a dialog box, Yahoo and AIM disconnect silently, and Jabber gives me a disconnect error in a dialog box.  This seems rather inconsistent.

I'd like an additional standard Settings->Configure Notifications event, 'Disconnected from service' and have the standard set of options to select from.  I love the little unobtrusive popup, which is what I use most of the time.

Perhaps the notification could be triggered when one is disconnected from a service without an explicit user request, but I'd be happy with anything I could configure via the oh-so-flexible Settings->Configure Notifications dialog.

Thanks for an excellent program.
Krishna Sethuraman

P.S. Sorry if this has already been filed -- it didn't look like it had been.

Good idea

Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.

Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
