            Bug ID: 302105
          Severity: normal
           Version: 0.4
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kde-telepathy-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Not possible to create/ use an account with
                    pidgin-skype anymore
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: m.wege at web.de
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: accounts-kcm
           Product: telepathy

It is not possible to create/use an account using pidgin-skype in KDE telepathy
anymore. I am not sure, if this is related to the release of 0.4 and/or the
Skype 4.0 version for Linux since both nearly happened at the same time. It
worked with 0.3 and with Skype 2.0 and pidgin-skype works perfectly with pidgin
itself and Skype 4.0. 
As the previously existing installation in the KDE telepathy framework stopped
working, I deleted the account and attempted to create a new one. This fails,
there is no way to enter the skype account name. The "extended" area in the
account creation section of "Step 2" is also empty. When trying to finish it
says "Failed to create account
Possibly not all required fields are valid". This possibly has something to do
with the fact that it was not possible to input in any settings.
If there is not any imeadiate fix, I would appreciate any info on possible
workaround, like manually creating the config-info.
