           Summary: Kopete notifications when writing messages are
                    displayed too often
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Chat Window
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: aosthof at suse.de


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

When chatting via kopete, one can see if the counterpart is writing a message
via KDE4 notifications (libnotify?). However, if the counterpart is not a quick
writer, one gets a notification that the counterpart is writing a message on
each break he makes when writing.

This is very annoying, as one gets spammed with multiple notification messages
"xy is writing a message" even if it is a short message only, but written
slowly. It would be great if those notifications could be reduced to one time
per written message.

This behavior was seen with KDE 4.5, more exactly:

kdebase4-workspace-4.5.1-497.1.x86_64
kopete-4.5.1-163.1.x86_64

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Start a chat with someone
2) Set window focus on any other window
3) Counterpart has to type a message slowly or with pauses
4) On each pause (feels like >1 sec) one receives the message "xy is writing a
message"


Actual Results:  
One gets flooded with "xy is writing a message" messages displayed by the
notification daemon of KDE 4.5.

Expected Results:  
Per written written message, it's sufficient to display one single notification
when the counterpart is writing a message. Also acceptable would be an
increased timeout, let's say triggered by pauses greater than 5 seconds.
