qdbus --literal org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.haze /org/freedesktop/Telepathy/ConnectionManager/haze org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.ListProtocols {"mbpurple-twitter", "somsaks-twitter", "gadugadu", "zephyr", "groupwise", "icq", "mxit", "local-xmpp", "msn-pecan", "aim", "mbpurple-identica", "msn", "sametime", "myspace", "irc", "mbpurple-laconica", "jabber", "yahoo", "sip", "yahoojp"} Still appears in accounts KCM list. (I guess our protocol only checks for "has CM", not "has CM and that CM supports this protocol")
May be it has something to do with a 32/64bit missmatch? I have 64bit version of Kubuntu. I know that skype with version2 only provided a 32bit package. The new version of Skype for Linux comes with a 32bit packages which is disguised as a 64bit-package. So may be that is the reason why KDE telepathy has problems (but: It works perfect with pidgin).
May be a related upstream bug: https://code.google.com/p/skype4pidgin/issues/detail?id=193
Found the bug: when generating the list based on profiles we simply check the connectionmanager (haze) exists, however, not that this connection manager supports the relevant protocol void ProfileListModel::populateList() { ... //don't include profiles which we don't have a CM for if (! m_connectionManagerNames.contains(profile->cmName())) { continue; } .. } This logic needs to be improved.
