           Summary: kopete fails to connect after network connection is
                    switched to vpnc
           Product: kopete
           Version: 1.0.80
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: borych at gmx.de


Version:           1.0.80 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

My university has wireless internet for students via cisco vpn, so in order to
connect to the Internet you need to connect to an open wireless network and
then create a vpnc connection.
While connecting itself works via networkmanager just fine, kopete is unable to
connect to jabber (probably other protocols as well, didn't try) after I create
such a vpnc connection if I was previously using it at home via normal wireless
or ethernet. 
I need to restart kopete in order to make it connect. Other apps which rely on
networkmanager status connect just fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect to internet normally, e.g. wireless or ethernet. Kopete autoconnects
all the protocols.
2. disconnect
3. connect to open wireless network which doesn't have internet connection
4. connect to vpn which is then default route and the internet connection
5. kopete fails to autoconnect (maybe fails to recognize the default route),
restart of kopete needed
