Bug 152670

Version:           0.12.7 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

At first it was just one dialog with "Someone has added you to his/her contact list. (Account mattcasters)".
Now there are 2 and who knows how much more there will come.

There is an option in the dialog "[x] give this person permission to see my status" (**)

Clicking OK or Cancel yields the same effect: the dialog closes.
So I close both dialogs, but they just keep coming back every time I go off-line and back on-line on the yahoo server.

Since the yahoo service drops away at least 20 times during the day lately, I get to close these dialogs all the time.
If I don't close them, they pile up.  If I leave the computer on for a few days and kopete is running, I come back to a nice collection of identical dialogs on the screen.

Since firing the same kopete version on a clean install system yields the same results, I discovered that these requests are probably offered to kopete by the yahoo server.
So that either means that Kopete doesn't properly handle the request or that kopete should ignore the request the second time it is offered.

If I would have to guess I would go for the second option since the regular Yahoo client doesn't complain about this after the first time.

Don't hesitate to ask for more information,

Matt
