           Summary: Enable OTR opportunistic crypto by default in Kopete
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde_bugzilla_2 at ssokolow.com


Version:           0.70.4 (using 4.2.4 (KDE 4.2.4), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.25-gentoo-r7-20080501

Currently, the OTR crypto plugin defaults to being disabled. Given that it has
an opportunistic mode and the well-known fact that most users simply leave
their programs on the defaults, enabling opportunistic crypto by default would
probably be a better option.

This should only require two changes:
1. Add the OTR plugin to the list of plugins which are enabled by default if
found.
2. Extend the OTR plugin's hooking of Kopete so that keys are automatically
generated for accounts without them when the accounts are added to Kopete via
the wizard or, to enable a proper upgrade/restore-from-backup path, on Kopete
startup.

Neither I nor anyone I've worked with has ever had a problem with the
opportunistic mode causing problems beyond those experienced with OTR disabled
and one might consider OTR's opportunistic mode to be the IM equivalent of VoIP
with ZFone.
