I agree that the difference between queue and stack is indeed subtle. But I do /not/ think that instantly opening new windows for any new conversation (instead of flashing the taskbar and/or showing notifications) is a reasonable set of default settings. However, IMHO this is a matter of taste and should be discussed on the kopete-devel mailing list and not in a bugzilla bug report. E.g., it would be interesting which IM applications behave in the way you describe. Nonetheless, I really like the idea of simplifying these options. Could you make a patch an post it to the kopete-devel mailing list? The default options are addressed in your Bug 168719. Getting rid of the queue/stack thing is one of the things I'm planning to do during akademy. I don't think opening messages instantly should be the default setting though. I got rid of the "stack" option now. The initial proposal in this report goes further, and makes sense to me, but I don't know enough about kopete to understand all the ramifications of such changes.
