Description Christian Muehlhaeuser 2009-08-05 08:13:53 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have set my Kopete to connect as "invisible" on startup.

It connects to ICQ and MSN just fine, but it doesn't show any Google Talk contacts online.
Then i switch the status from Invisible (it shows up as being invisible and online in the status) for the google talk / jabber plugin to Online and suddenly all my contacts pop up as online.

If I now switch to Invisible manually again, all my contacts remain online and I really seem to be invisible.

Conclusion: Having initial status set to invisible makes Kopete not connect to Google Talk / Jabber, and falsely advertise its current status as Online (Invisible).

Using KDE 4.3.68 (KDE 4.3.68 (KDE 4.4 >= 20090916)) "release 5"

opensuse packages.

The problem still persists.
It's a bit strange though, I have a Jabber account on jabber.fr, and another on gmail.com: the problem occurs only with the GTalk account!

Kopete version 0.80.2 under KDE 4.3.3, Fedora 11 packages.
Comment 3 Timo 2010-01-11 13:46:08 UTC
Qt: 4.6.0
KDE Development Platform: 4.3.90 (KDE 4.3.90 (KDE 4.4 RC1))
Kopete: 0.99.90

And the problem still persists. 

As I understand this is about how invisible isn't managed by most jabber servers at all, and commonly perceived as not supported by the xmpp protocol.

Still: even reverting to 'online visible' for the jabber accounts would be preferable. It would be fantastic to set the initial state of connection by an on account basis.

This is what google's xmpp server doing. Closing as invalid, because Kopete cannot do anything about it.
