IMHO, I think that most people (in fact, I :-) ) use kopete just like any 
irc client. I have never seen any irc client where Enter didn't submit 
what you wrote, and I think that's what it should do in kopete. I've used 
kopete some times to talk with some MSN users friends and I always found 
annoying that I had to move my hand to the mouse and click submit to 
submit the text I wrote. And no, nobody will find out that Ctrl-Enter 
submits it, at least not "normal users".

Note that I'm not talking in general, but about kopete dialogs. I don't 
care about multilineedits or lineedits, but I think Enter in kopete should 
submit and if that means changing the multilineedit for a lineedit just 
for consistency with Enter behaviour, I vote for that.
