I'd like it as the default, but someone was telling me in IRC that they 
got annoyed with it after a while (don't remember who)...Max maybe?  Or Seb?

Also, the Kopete source lists a number of things that are bugs in it, 
though there wasn't anything I noticed using it...but it'd be worth 
asking them what the pros/cons are, what bugs there are, etc.  I tried 
to contact someone in #kopete but didn't hear back yet.
