Description Rettich 2008-07-25 19:57:58 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.98)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I try to write a small script which can send Instant Messages with Kopete and DBus.

But i can't get a list of all Meta Contact Display Names.
DBus functions:
contacts() - gets a list of all Meta Contact IDs
getDisplayName() - returns the display name to a Contact ID (but not to Meta Contact ID)
sendMessage() (and other functions like isContactOnline) all want a display name.

With DCOP contacts() return a list of display names so everything worked fine.

Maybe this is more a wish than a bug.

I've updated to KDE 4.2 and now the DBus works fine for me.

I just had to delete the old conatctlist.xml file.

I found out that deleting the contactlist.xml file killed all connections to the addressbook. So there is still a problem.
