           Summary: Kopete: It seems we have been directed to a different
                    server
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: eljefedelito at gmail.com


Version:           0.70.90 (using 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.30-1-686

Not sure about other protocols or networks but on talk.google.com:

Occasionally talk.google.com will, for whatever reason, tell Kopete or whatever
chat client to change servers.  Kopete will pop up a message that reads
something like, "It seems we have been directed to another server.  I do not
know how to handle this.  talk.google.com."

My suggestion is that Kopete automatically reconnects, maybe after a 2 second
delay or something.  I've never had a manual reconnect fail, and if Kopete is
smart enough to know why we've been disconnected ("directed to another
server...") then why not try to fix itself?

If auto-reconnecting does fail after, say, 3 tries, than give a popup.
