I'm not sure, but people report it's working with Empathy without problems,
so because the only difference between Empathy and KTp is tp-qt, I'd think
it has to happen somewhere in there. But I may be easily wrong :) I have an
icq account and can reproduce it, so I can provide any help you might need.

I like this one.

How about letting cron do the actual job? Eg. install cron file? Not really
a proper solution I'd say though as it deals with the consequences rather
than the cause.
