I've been having the same problem lately, would like to add some information about my particular case:
I'm using KUbuntu 11.04 with KDE 4.6.5
(Kopete version 1.0.80, same as reported, just in case someone wondered)
When running from terminal, the following is displayed:
--
Application asked to unregister timer 0x0 which is not registered in this thread. Fix application.
kopete(5607)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::removeEntry: doesn't know "~/.kde/share/apps/kabc" 
myuser@mycomputer:~$ QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: No existe el fichero o el directorio
QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: ~/.config/ibus/bus
kopete(5607)/libkopete Kopete::PluginManager::loadPluginInternal: Unable to find a plugin named ' "" '! 
--
A couple of things: 
1) "No existe el fichero or directorio" = "No such file or directory".
2) Replaced the absolute paths, username and computer name because I'm a little bit of a privacy freak.

No further output is produced except for "kopete(5607) Kopete::SocketTimeoutWatcher::ackTimeoutCheck: Connection timeout for   QHostAddress( "157.55.157.20" ) " after quite a while waiting.

I hope this helped a bit.

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!

MSN has been discontinued by Microsoft, thus I am closing this bug.
