Confirmed. Avatar support in kopete is REALLY broken! I have seen several strange scenarios.

In msn, once upon a time, I had set a tux icon as my avatar. I think I have changed this sometimes but I *think* this was the last avatar I used before upgrading to kde4. In kde4, no matter what icon I set as my avatar in kopete, I keep seeing the same tux icon. A remote contact using kopete confirmed that he also sees this tux icon. Another remote contact with windows live messenger said he sees the default icon (i.e. no avatar). Once, I managed to change it (not sure how, but I did it). The scenario was that I set another avatar in kopete on my desktop and then logged in kopete on my laptop and I was seeing the new avatar (however I had set the same avatar in kopete on the laptop, so I am not sure what did the update). Logging back on the desktop, I saw the old avatar.

Similar scenarios with jabber. Setting a new avatar in kopete updates the avatar in the server (logging in with psi afterwards shows that the avatar is changed). However, using kopete, both me and remote contacts see the old avatar.
