+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #133621 +++ Version: 0.80.2 (using KDE 4.3.2, Kubuntu Package 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu4 karmic) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.31-14-generic Kopete yells at me every time I sign in to my AIM account, giving me two messages saying that I am not allowed to add myself to my contact list. However, I'm not adding myself, I should already be on my contact list. AIM allows folks to add themselves no problem, so I don't see what the big deal is. I couldn't remove myself if I wanted to anyway, since Kopete doesn't show myself being on my list. Instead, as I said, every time I sign in, I get yelled at. There is no reason to not be able to have myself on my contact list. This bug I decided to clone as the previous was closed and there were no developers paying attention to the serious issues. I think it is a regression...
For me the error happens in Yahoo! accounts. When I enable them it causes the error. There are people reporting this behavior with the jabber plugins...
Summarizing my comments from bug #133621: I just upgraded from jaunty to karmic, which is KDE 4.3.2, Kopete 0.80.2. This bug has suddenly started happening. I have changed nothing from a Kopete configuration that has been working fine for ages. It happens when Kopete starts, and also sporadically thereafter. I've discovered that every time I leave the computer for a few hours, I come back to a slew of repetitions of this error message which have to be clicked through. This is sufficiently serious that I think that, with reluctance, I'm going to have to look at using another client until this is fixed. The affected protocol in my case seems to be jabber. I have jabber and yahoo, and I saw a post somewhere that sort-of suggested that maybe the bug was caused by having two accounts online simultaneously, so I set the yahoo to offline. When I came in this morning there were about a dozen messages all containing this error; so since I had gone offline with yahoo last night, my tentative conclusion is that it was jabber sending the error. If there's a more definitive way to test which protocol is causing it, please let me know.
SVN commit 1044089 by rjarosz: Don't show "You are not allowed to add yourself to the contact list" after login because user can't do anything about it from Kopete. If user tries to add own contact 30 seconds after login to protocols which doesn't support it or it was implemented yet we show the error. Remove yahoo hack for myself.

Just to clear things up commit 953154 "Allow user to add self contact into contact list if protocols supports it." only makes it possible for protocols to add self contact to contact list (it wasn't possible before) but not all protocols implement this feature yet... IIRC I've only converted AIM and WLM. The last commit should remove the useless warning but to be able to add self contact to list yahoo and jabber still have to be changed. Btw. I could only reproduce this bug for yahoo, jabber didn't show any warning.
