Description Francis Giannaros 2006-04-05 12:31:28 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

Noticed that when you use DCOP to change the avatar (changing GlobalPhoto) this new avatar is not reflected in the settings themselves. 

So: (1) change your avatar using DCOP; (2) go to Settings -> Configure -> Modify respective account -> User Info, and note that the old (and unused) avatar is displayed.

I can note that the picture changes when you check the Global Photo (under Identities), but still. I guess that when you select to use Global Identities it should display the picture that is in that setting. Seeing any other picture than the one which you have is unexpected behaviour.

you're talking about the photo setting in the msn account configuration? 

which dcop function are you using to change the photo?

Please reply to the above questions.

Apologies, I don't know how I missed this.

> you're talking about the photo setting in the msn account configuration? 

That's correct.

> which dcop function are you using to change the photo? 

I'm using setGlobalPhoto.

We've completely replaced the current MSN implementation with a new MSN implementation which  If you continue to experience this bug after testing the new implementation (which can be gotten from our subversion repository or with the KDE 4.2 Beta 1 release), PLEASE, open a new bug rather than reopening this bug. Thank you for your time and efforting in helping us find and fix problems in Kopete.
