           Summary: Message Handling Options (stack/queue/instantly)
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: rap ramonantonio net


Version:           0.50.80 (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

BEHAVIOR > GENERAL tab

Current Message Handling options are:

- Open messages instantly
- Use message queue
- Use message stack
[] Queue/stack unread options

Default option should be "Open messages instantly" as that is what an average user would expect. "Queue" and "stack" options are pretty the same.

- In both cases what it really means is that a window is not opened and you get a notification in the contact list.
- Average people don't know difference between a queue and a stack



BEHAVIOR > EVENTS tab 

You can find these 2 options under "Miscellaneous" that also manage the new conversation and new message events:
[ ] Switch to desktop chat on opening message
[ ] Raise window on incoming message


--------------------------------------------------------------------


All this 6 options could be removed or replaced with something like

"On new conversation:"
- "Open new window" default: yes
- "Raise window" default: yes
- "Switch to desktop" default: no


No functionality would be lost
This could be placed in the "Events" tab under the title "On new conversation"
