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).
I can confirm it on kopete Version 0.99.80 Using KDE 4.3.68 (KDE 4.3.68 (KDE 4.4 >= 20090916)) "release 5" opensuse packages. Alin
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.
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.
