What if the user wants to connect it later (and since there is no other way how to enable them than from KCM, he has to do it this way)? We should always provide a method for bringing the account online/offline manually if we want to do automagic.</pre>

It works for Empathy. If it causes issues we can always change it later.</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">For example this scenairo - you are in systemsettings (for some other setting), you remember that you wanted to enable some IM accounts and you may as well do it while you have the systemsettings opened, but you don't want to connect yet (for the reasons already discussed). It is really the same'ol' discussion all over again. I think a small checkbox in otherwise unused space won't hurt anyone and may help some.
My 2 cents..</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Ok, I think the crux of this argument is what we mean by the term "enable".
In my understanding it means, "use/don't use this account".
At which point you're not going to enable it if you don't want to go online.
Maybe we need to sort out this global presence situation, and it can connect itself to that status, that would solve everything.
Right now we have a situation where you enable an account and nothing happens, this is going to affect more people than the situation you described. There's no place to put an extra checkbox, short of a dialog - which I'm massively against.

[18:13] <pcapriotti> the only question left, then, is whether we want the account to go online when we disable and reenable
[18:13] <d_ed> I'm fine with it.
[18:13] <d_ed> I think it's a good idea, the user has made a concious action, they can't be surprised when it reconnects.</pre>
