Version: 0.70.2 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Gentoo) Compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.25-gentoo-r7-20080501 The one Gaim feature I still miss is "Buddy Pounce". The ability to bind arbitrary contact events (coming online, going offline, going away, coming back from away, saying something, etc.) to arbitrary actions (basically anything the KDE notifications system allows) on a per-user basis. (including "...and delete this event trigger on activation") Basically, I want to be able to do something like "Play alarm.ogg and display a notification popup when rarelyseen@hotmail.com comes online and then delete this trigger". (I normally don't have notifications for people coming online because they're too distracting, but on a per-user basis, they'd be a great way to catch people who are hard to get in touch with)
When you say "per-user basis", you mean "per-contact basis", right ? I think it's an interesting feature. I might even look into that but I won't have much time before the end of June (exams take me some time currently).
I don't know how to properly report duplicates but here goes: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210814
@2: If anything, that other bug duplicates this. I want the full "miniature event-binding framework" Buddy Pounce system, not some "Person X is online" notification that I have to jerry-rig in horrifying ways to do things like replicating Gaim's client-side offline messaging plugin.
I'm sorry, you are completely right I should have thought this true more carefully!

Hi, sorry for the bad news, but AIM was discontinued last year, so I will be closing this bug. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!
Gaim is the old name for Pidgin and had already been a multi-protocol client for a long time when I filed this bug. "Buddy Pounce" is not specific to any one protocol. It's a mechanism for using a GUI similar to a mail client's Filters dialog to assign handlers to events. (eg. "When [Jake] comes online, [Display a desktop notification]")
