           Summary: WISH: "start new chat with ..." dialog - arbitrarily
                    start new chat session
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: squindler at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

A "Start new chat with ..." able to start a chat session by typing in the
address / screen name of the contact.  Where possible the entry field should
display potential matches (krunner type lookahead) including offline users.

Justification:
Sending messages to an invisible user requires turning on show offline users to
be able to search / start new chat.
Also, with whole organisation jabber rosters, the contact list becomes useless
for keeping tabs on a select few users online status' if the organisation group
needs to be left "open" to view search results - this problem is compounded
when users become invisible too.
