List, I use Kopete 0.11.1 on Kubuntu 6.06 and use my Y! account on it for IM. I was unable to set kopete to automatically sign me in as "online" on Y! account. Asked for help on IRC and found that this option is available under Configure window. Though, this would have been obvious, this isn't directly available with the Y! Plugin.
In the Configure Window, the "Behaviour" section has few tabs with a set of options. In the "General" tab, there's an option under "Miscellaneous" -> Connect automatically at startup. I used this to set Kopete sign me in automatically. There's also an option to use mouse navigation instead of scroll-bars to navigate the contact list. Both the features are missing from the documentation of supplied with Kubuntu 6.06 and also the website, docs.kde.org Therefore, I describe the features in few lines. Hope this would be included in the forthcoming updates to the documentation. -------------------- Connect automatically at startup If checked, all accounts set up on Kopete will be automatically signed in. However, you can choose to opt out from this for individual accounts by "modify"-ing their settings from the Account menu. Use mouse navigation instead of scroll-bars If you have a long list of contacts, you can navigate your mouse through the small Kopete window and the list will move vertically in the direction the mouse pointer moves. In other words, you wouldn't have to use the scroll-bar to scroll up and down. ---------------- I would also like to note that it is mentioned in the "What's This?" section for the mouse navigation feature, which notifies vertical movement in the opposite direction of mouse movement, which is wrong. -- FSF of India Associate Fellow - http://www.gnu.org.in S K Somaiya College of ASC- http://www.somaiya.edu/sksasc ubunturos @ freenode Download prohibited?
