[Licq-devel] [PATCH] Use KPassivePopup to show when users go online

[Jörg Mensmann]

Hi!

Since version 3.1 KDE includes KPassivePopup, a "dialog-like popup that
displays messages without interrupting the user". The patch uses this
class to notify the user when someone on his notify list goes online.

Two issues remain:
1. Make it configurable? Perhaps not really needed, since by using the
   notify list the user already decided that he wants to be notified.
2. Logging in: When multiple user which are on the notify list are
   online while logging into icq, multiple popups are shown
   simultaneously.
