this was actually a change i made to the system tray implementation in kde, 
and quite purposefully. if the system tray has a window associated with it, 
then it switches to the desktop of that window just as if you clicked on the 
taskbar. it also prevents annoyances like clicking on the mail icon and 
kmail/kontact being switched to the current desktop, which is almost never 
the desired case. (ditto for media players like amarok).

for "light" interfaces, they usually don't parent the system tray icon to the 
window and so the windows follows you when you click it.

this probably makes sense. you'd have to pass it by the kopete developers, of 
course, on kopete-devel at kde.org ... patches are what really makes things 
happen though, so creating a patch would be the best thing
