@francesco, I first need to understand video chat protocol, probably I will use
Kopete 3.5 as base to understand how it works. Kopete 4.x uses libmsn so most
of what Kopete 3.5 does must be re-implemented in libmsn instead of Kopete 4.x.
I have implemented mail notification and open Hotmail inbox for WLM protocol,
which also needs changes to libmsn. I am talking to libmsn's maintainer and
Kopete developers trying to convince them to add this feature in KDE 4.3 (mabye
4.3.1) but most of them think it must go to KDE 4.4, which will only be
released next year. The implementation works, the problems are that it breaks
binary compatibility in libmsn, adds some strings to Kopete (something the
translation team really does not like) and at least for now the open inbox
always fires Konqueror instead of the user's browser of choice (use both
Firefox and Konqueror, but Konqueror does not work in several important sites
for me).

@diego, I use aMSN for video chat, I also had to implement IO stream in my
webcam's driver to make it work with libv4l, kopete, mplayer and Skype, as far
as I know only Ekiga is able to use this webcam (Creative PC-CAM 880) without
this patch. That was three weeks time implementation (in March of this year).
Unfortunately the video4linux team have not added the changes to the kernel
tree even though I had done all they wanted. I sent two e-mails this month
asking why it was not included in 2.6.30, no answer so far :-( It is a bit
frustrating have all that work to make my webcam work and now I have to adapt
my patch every kernel release to use my webcam. I fear the same could happen
with libmsn and mail notification patches :-/ Let's see If I had better lucky
this time.
