It seems there is a regression in kopete, I can't access ICQ protocol, msn entry is not there but jabber entry is in the list (however both do not work nor previously neither now). Kate open/save dialogs (not mswindows native) crashes when selecting network folder. SSH initial support is still unusable :( another regression: can't copy/paste files from/to network FTP folders. ( this one is since 4.1.80 )
