           Summary: Restoring Kopete's contact list window with multiple
                    desktops behaves weird
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: michael_zanetti at gmx.net


Version:           1.0.0 (using KDE 4.4.2)
Compiler:          gcc 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

Steps to reproduce:

- Open Kopete
- Switch to a different desktop
- Click on the Kopete's Systray icon to hide the contact list
- Click Systray icon again to restore contact list

Expected outcome:
Kopete should pop up on the new desktop, or the desktop should be switched to
show kopete

Actual outcome:
Kopete is minimized and restored on the other desktop, invisible to the user.

I find myself pretty often navigating through all desktops and clicking the
systray icon like crazy while searching my kopete window. If the the Contact
list is hidden on another desktop, there is also no feedback to the user. So
one doesn't know it the contact list is actually minimized or floating around
on another desktop.

A possible solution would be to restore the contact list always on the current
desktop (i.e. like Kontact and Amarok do). Another solution would be to switch
the current desktop to the one containing the contact list.

Note: This does not happen if the contact list is closed using the window
managers close button. In that case, everything works as expected. It happens
only if the contact list is minimized using the system tray.
