How exactly are contact avatars handled in Kopete? I am using Jabber only (with
Transports) and since ages, avatars are not updating. I even cannot force to
reload them (or I don't know how), have already deleted the cached ones - now I
don't have any at all!

The only way so far seems to right-click on the contact in question, call up
the vCard, and voila, the avatar is shown, regardless of which protocol or
transport. So how exactly can I (re-)populate my contacts with avatars? the
right-clicking way is not feasible, as we are talking about 300+ contacts...
