Description Gerrit Visscher 2009-01-28 03:14:40 UTC 
Version:           0.70.50 (using 4.2.60 (KDE 4.2.60 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090116)), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.28-gentoo

There are two ways to test the error:
1. when akonadi is not running while kopete starts
2. when the necessary adressbook is deselected in kadressbook (this is not intuitive and should not happen, I think)

Kopete starts up and all connected contacts (I use the name and th photo from the adressbook) have nether a photo nor name (thats reasonable, though it would be nice if kopete would fall back to the nickname.
When akonadi is back up (or the adressbook is selected again) and kopete is restartet, the names display correct, but all photo connections are lost. With 100+ contacts, this is quite some work...

Expected behaviour: photo connections should be recovered, too

A similar problem here (KDE 4.2.2, opensuse 11.1): the addressbook link fails when kopete starts (on login), restarting kopete fixes it. I lost the images some times too, lately they seem to be preserved.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Sorry, I do not have a KDE installation at the moment. Feel free to close the bug if you can't (or don't want to) reproduce it.
