          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux

Kopete console output from a session with this issue

Version:           1.0.80 (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

i have six accounts in kopete: one AIM, three Jabber, one Skype, and one
Bonjour.  one of the Jabber accounts is a Google Talk account.  that account
rarely stays online for longer than a few seconds.  not only does this make the
account unusable, but it makes the rest of Kopete unusable too because the
whole UI freezes while the Google Talk account is disconnecting or
reconnecting.

the only workaround i have found is to disable or remove the Google Talk
account in Settings -> Configure... -> Accounts.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. launch kopete.
2. connect to a Google Talk account (or wait for it to auto-connect if it is
set to do so).
3. wait ~7 s.  the Google Talk account freezes the UI for ~2.5 s as it
disconnects.
4. wait ~10 s.  the Google Talk account freezes the UI for ~2.5 s as it
reconnects.
5. repeat steps 3-4 ad nauseum.

Actual Results:  
see steps 3-4.  kopete's console output is silent during the disconnects, but
it prints the following during each reconnect:

Unknown signature value:  795                                                   
QProcess::start: Process is already running

Expected Results:  
the account should come online and stay online.  if it must disconnect and
reconnect due to external factors, then it should not freeze the UI as it does
so.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.35-28-generic
Compiler: cc


the first time that some of the accounts connect (including the Google Talk
one), kopete's console output displays this:
