Closing the Contact list does give a warning about staying online or to go offline, but there is no systray icon or panel entry once you close it.
Some other small UI things here and there in a similar vein, plus the obvious lack of features as compared to kopete. Overall it is good, and even has a basic irc plugin available! I will use it myself as my day-to-day im client. However, as an lts, how does updating telepathy-kde work, would we be able to add a new, better version as necessary, or are we stuck with 0.3 for the life of the release? If the latter, then I would vote for Kopete I think. Take all the above into account from me realizing that I have not yet used 0.3 for any chats as of yet, so that part is as of yet untested. -- Clay Weber http://kubuntuforums.net http://ubuntumaine.org http://emacdogsports.com -- kubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-devel
