This isn't working with kopete from KDE 4.5.2. When trying to import the
history for one of my contacts I get an error window with title "Cannot Map
Nickname to Account", and asking me which was my nickname on that history, but
it starts to show random contacts from my list. For example, trying with a MSN
contact, on the details text I see the following error:

WARNING: Cannot find matching account for xxxxx at hotmail.com (msn).

Doing some testing, it seems the problem is with the name of the protocol
directory on pidgin logs. For example, for MSN protocol, on ~/.purple/logs the
directory is named "msn", but kopete directory on
~/.kde4/share/apps/kopete/logs is "WlmProtocol". If you rename pidgin's msn
directory to "WlmProtocol" and then try to import the logs on kopete, the
import process won't fail and it will start asking you which was your nickname
on the conversations (which is very annoying btw, but it's a different issue),
and apparently, it correctly imports your contacts.

I have other observations about this feature but probably they deserve their
own bug report. If so then please tell me and I'll open them:

1. accents and other characters (á, é, í, ó, ñ, etc) appear screwed, there's
some encoding issue on the conversion.
2. The import history feature is badly placed: you access it when looking at a
contact's history, but when you click on the "import History" it will import
all history for all contacts of all accounts (not sure of this last one but
it'll surely will do it for all contacts of the contact's protocol). If I'm
looking at a contact's history, I expect that that "Import History..." button
imports _that_ user history, not the history from all contacts in all accounts.
Thsi feature should be moved to kopete's configuration dialog or to the File
dialog, bellow the "Export contacts" entry.
3. It's REALLY annoying that the import feature asks hundreds of times which
was my nickname on the history logs. I suppose this is because it isn't easy to
detect on a pidgin's conversation which contact is from the user importing the
history and which one is from the person(s) he was talking to ?
