Description karl.r.ernst 2012-09-15 16:48:40 UTC
I added the taskbar icon according to the wiki tutorial I found (which is rather unintuitive, there should be a better way for this). it works nicely, however when I left-click i t a contact list opens, and when I close it again the status switches to grey/unconnected. (also, left-clicking the icon again should close the contact list instead of doing nothing)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add IM status icon to taskbar if you haven't
2. left click to opee contact list
3. close contact list
Actual Results:  
account disconnects

Expected Results:  
account should stay online

only tested with an ICQ account

Try checking ~/.kde/share/config/ktp-contactlistrc file, there should be an entry saying - go_offline_when_closing=true, you can change that to =false and restart contact list.

This happens when you have no presence plasmoid, close the contact list and in the dialog box that appears saying "Do you want to go offline?" you select "Yes, don't ask me again".

However we probably should have an option in the GUI to turn this back on. Changing to a task & junior-job.

This problem has gone since commit a2686389ab6cd68f10df5e4d5a09be6c0026a235 in ktp-kded-module

Users now can go to configure icon -- Instant Messaging Settings... -- General -- Auto Offline, to configure whether the account(s) should go offline or not when closing KTP contact list.
