In Kopete you have no concept of "Gmail" or "Facebook".

There you create a standard Jabber account, and you can "override the server
information" to specify server is different from the username at server.com in
your account ID. Which is exactly the same as normal jabber profile and  our
"advanced settings".

So this isn't a regression from Kopete, we just add easy access to the 99% of
users who do want the defaults.

Besides, if you changed the server to "chat.facebook.com" it's not GTalk
anymore. 

Personally I think making it editable is redundant for most people and goes
against the point of profiles making things simple for the vast majority of
users and being settings /we/ define. If people want something different to a
profile they can simply not use a profile and use the standard Jabber account,
and it's no harder for them than if we didn't have the profiles.

As I disagree, I'm not going to fix it, but I won't stop anyone else fixing it
if they want to.

Relevant code is at:
ParameterEditModel::117-119 and AbstractAccountParametersWidget:139
