           Summary: Make chat windows using the Gaim style use Pidgin
                    instead (or a fallback style)
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kubito at gmail.com


Version:           svn r932517 (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.3 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I don't know if this is a bug or a wish, but it looks more like a bug to me.

After some time without using trunk, I've recently started compiling and using
it again.

In Kopete, when a chat window appeared and I or another person started a
conversation, it would remain blank as if nothing had been typed.

Later I found out this was because I was using the Gaim style for the chat
window before, and it has been renamed to Pidgin recently. When I manually
chose Pidgin (or another style) in the Chat Window preferences, everything
worked fine again.

I guess Kopete users who are using the Gaim style might experience this strange
behaviour once 4.3 is released.

In fact, if the style currently chosen by the user is missing somehow (if it
was installed locally, it could have been manually removed, for example) Kopete
should fall back to default a style that is always present.
