(Semi-related; workaround.)

I pieced together a small bash script that sits in the background and checks
every 5 minutes to see if any protocols are disconnected (via dbus commands).

As workarounds go it's been doing fine for a while now, so I cleaned it up a
bit, commented it and uploaded it to sendspace. I wasn't sure what bugs.kde.org
would think of me uploading (archived) arbitrary scripts to its attachment
hosting.

Since I had to start by learning rudimentary bash, it's 95% spaghetti and not
really following any code conventions. There are probably bugs and unforeseen
eventualities, too. Feel free to scour it for malware.

Note that one of the files in the archive is hidden (.reconnector.conf), and it
will have to be placed in your home directory. You would also need to edit it
and set up at least one protocol for the script to monitor.

The dbus interface to Kopete is nice but a bit limited, so don't expect too
much of this. Some comments about this can be found in the .reconnector.conf
file.
