Version: (using KDE 4.3.5) OS: Linux Installed from: openSUSE RPMs I think Kopete must save my status at exit and restore it at startup as a lot of IM clients do.
My Use Case for this feature is the following. I have a desktop and a laptop. I use the laptop whenever I do business travel. I `rsync' my laptop from my desktop. If I have my laptop out on a trip and my desktop reboots (e.g. power failure), kopete will restart `online' In order to avoid this problem, I have to set up kopete to always start `offline' I'd rather `kopete' start with the last status set. That'll take care of everything. :) As a matter of fact, if kopete starts with the last status saved, I don't think there's a reason to have the option to start kopete with a particular status. Thank you!
Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained. Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
