           Summary: configuration dialog turns on webcam
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: sitter.harald at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

My dell mini 10v got a builtin webcam. This webcam always gets turned on when
entering the kopete configuration dialog.

Granted, this is not important, but say you want to tweak your kopete settings
to perfection while being on battery, the constant switching of the webcam
could become a problem.

Also it is kind of annoying to be lid in the face in the dark (there is status
light next to the cam) ;)

IMHO the webcam should only be activated once the user switches to the
appropriate configuration part.
Thanks for taking this into consideration :)
