Description arne anka 2009-08-13 10:55:18 UTC

Version:           0.70.90 (using 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.28

i tried to send a file in jabber and was confronted with an utterly stupid error message.
- right click account
- "Other ACtions" ->  "Send File ..."
- select file in file chooser
- error message with nothing but a big fat red square and the contact. no message, no explanation, nothing.

what am i supposed to do with that? admire the artwork of the icon?
after decades of sw development, i am really annoyed to still see those meaningless error dialogs.
