a enhancement proposal

I understand you said that creating a new trend is not a KTp intention.

However, we would be exchanging a void action (typing does absolutely nothing
currently) for a very useful feature.

I've taken some time and created a diff for some things I consider enhancements
to the current behavior of the contacts list.

I know It's unlikely that anything I did will be accepted, but that was
something I wanted to dedicate some time to as this is a feature I still miss
on KTp.

What the diff does:
1. Focus the contacts list tree view instead of the status combo box on the
window opening
2. When searching, focus the contacts list and select the first visible index -
so the user can just type Enter after selecting the contact, if needed, to open
the chat window
3. When typing on the contacts list, it captures the key events and send them
to the filter bar so it can determine if the event is a text insertion, a
backspace or a close request
4. Set the focus on the contacts list after a close request

The branch to apply this patch is kde-telepathy-0.8
