           Summary: Kopete-Skype messes up Skype's groups
           Product: kopete
           Version: 1.0.80
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Skype Plugin
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: Chain at rpgfiction.net


Version:           1.0.80 (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

I tried to look into the problems of contacts appearing anywhere just not there
where I saved them on the contact list (at most times: top level).

I found out that if I move a contact into a group, Skype creates another one,
with the same name. I even had ten groups of the same name, with each of them
including one contact. Can this be fixed? I know Skype's API is sh*tty at best,
and it's not that important - just would be a nice thing to have :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
shutdown kopete
remove your kopete-buddylist (rm .kde/share/share/kopete/contactlist.xml)
start kopete
your contacts will come again - somewhere.
try to move one, and look what happens in the Skype window

Actual Results:  
New groups are created for each contact, sometimes Skype saves them for the
next session, sometimes not. Sometimes groups even seem to vanish.

Expected Results:  
Skype should have the same group/buddy structure than kopete, right?

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.36-gentoo-r8-richBOOK
Compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
