That's the point of having multiple identities. My idea of a identity is the same as a meta-contact. (or like a meta-account) An Identity contains accounts like a meta-contact contains contact. account that are in the same identity share all data. that include nickname, photo, vcard, and even status and status messages. by vcard i mean the "identity" card, basically the same as the one in kabc. Identities would probably replace different accounts in the status bar. This is anyway just my utopia.

That's why IMO property should be at contact level (and they are already), and the existence of properties could probably belong to Kopete::Protocol > Shared Config Widget vs Custom Properties > [...] Yes, that's good. > The visual representation > [...] I'm not sure we should place that widget into the configure account page. But place this in another dialog, like we already do in Jabber and AIM. The reason is that the editaccount is more for connection and preference. Also, for most protocols, that information is stored in the server, and then require to be connected (and then make no sens to put that widget when adding a contact) It make sens to me to be able to show this widget also in the dialog of contact information (and have theses dialog common either) About your blender-like idea, it is AFAIK not used in KDE, I don't know why. It may be interesting.
