Version: 0.12.7 (using KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux When i execute the following command on the bash, the nickname is changed correctly. $ dcop kopete KopeteIface setGlobalNickname "LtWorf@$place" But sometimes i can see the correct nickname (set by dcop command) in the main window, but in chat windows the nickname isn't changed and the previous one is displayed. Contacts see the previous nickname. Editing manually the nickname in the main window, will make the next execution of the dcop command work as expected. Q'plà
Being a dcop problem, I can not reproduce this bug under KDE4.
Try using a live distro with kde3...
If you attempt to reproduce this in KDE4. use the setIdentityNickName function provided by the D-Bus interface, and make sure that it works.
I didn't figure out yet how to do a dbus call from shell script, so i think i can't test...
Now i figured out... Looks like not all the dcop methods are really implemented...
Closing the bug since the kde3 kopete is just too old.
