           Summary: Please reintroduce active auto-reconnect functionality
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: zorael at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

According to Google, there used to be a plugin that actively governed
auto-reconnection of protocols. Please reintroduce it, as it covers several
use-cases that the current passive dbus solution doesn't.

Reacting by reconnecting when the dbus call for "(interface) connection
established" is sent /assumes/ that the server connection will never fail when
the interface connection does not also fail.

Ergo, if the connection to the WLM server is lost due to bad wireless signal,
yet not bad enough to completely disconnect the interface, Kopete won't
reconnect. 

If you are connected to the Internet via a router, and the Internet connection
to that router goes down, Kopete won't react as the (interface) network
connection was never lost.

Likewise, if you are connected to an irc server and the server has to be
restarted, Kopete won't react.
