Bug 121274

Version:           0.11 (using KDE 3.5.0 Level "a" , SUSE 9.2 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-24.19-default

I'd like to be able to start a group chat
from my kopete window. Two ways of usage
seem logical to me:

a) Having a "start group chat" button which
   opens an empty group chat. Afterwards being
   able to drag contacts into the chat in
   order to invite them.
b) Selecting multiple contacts and right-clicking
   on them. The rmb context menu should have
   something like a "start group chat" entry.
   This should open a group chat window and
   invite the selected participants. Of course,
   dragging additional persons into the window
   should be possible, too (like above).

I've seen bug reports on jabber group chats
(#88250, #74291 and #95140) here and read
something about an incomplete (?) jabber group
chat implementation.

Perhaps the kopete UI should provide these
buttons whenever the user has at least one
account with a protocol supporting group chats.
It can complain if the user drags a contact into
the group-chat where no suitable protocol connection
is possible.

So this wish is twofold:
1) having the UI elements as described above
2) having jabber group chat support (which
   might be already there but invisible to me)
