Description Alexander Potashev 2015-06-25 19:41:52 UTC 
The contact list in ktp-log-viewer is a 2-level forest: people on the top level (as tree roots), and their IM protocols as child nodes in trees.

If I use only Jabber (or, more commonly: "if the majority of my contacts use only one protocol"), the forest looks like a set of couples. In each couple we have redundancy: clicking on the root node does the same as clicking on the child node.

I suggest to remove this duplication by merging the contact name with its single protocol. This way we can save up to 50% of space in the contact list in ktp-log-viewer.

Reproducible: Always
