Hmmm, that sounds like it should work.  But, when I do this, it still plays 
the sound every damn time.  Is there another setting that's relevant?  It 
does seem like it should be, but perhaps "Exclude message chats on current 
desktop" or similar?  I'll do some more experimenting.

FWIW, I'm running kopete 0.12.3 '(Using KDE 3.5.5 "release 45.2" openSUSE)' on 
SuSE 9.3.

To me, this seems like something that they (the kopete developers) should try 
to make more obvious.

Thanks again
