My wife and me use the same jabber account. When I'm at work, the only way for
my wife to send me a message is to use the self contact and send it to, say,
"husband work" resource. And I can send my messages to "wife home" resource.
This is the only reason my wife and are still using Psi. I've tried Kopete, but
the lack of this feature makes it totally unusable for me :(
The above description is not the only possible scenario for using a self
contact. My friend allows his roommate to use his computer (without logging
out), when he's at the university, and it would be nice if he could contact the
friend by jabber resource "home" from the resource "laptop".
This seems to be quite an old bug. Bug #66249 (which IMO is a dupe of this one)
was opened in 2003. IMO there is nothing new to implement, just to remove this
hmm... thoughtless restriction. For the beginning, the self contact may be
treated like any other (see Gaim) and if desired, some code may be added later
to treat it a little bit different (see Psi, which has the self contact feature
"built in" and you don't need to add yourself to your contact list).
Kopete is the only jabber client known to me, which prevents their users from
having a self contact. It's not sounds good and attractive to the users...
