That would be a start indeed, but i'm afraid that one notification per app
would be too coarse grained for Kopete, since that would mean potentially
dismissing unread messages from several contacts, probably aggregated
notifications per contact would be best. By comparison, KMail doesn't have
this problem since it manages to aggregate several unread messages into one
plasma notification, even indicating how much are unread in which folder so
maybe kopete could do something like that too. It would be indeed really
annoying if you had one plasma notification for each unread mail when you
come back online...

The dbus call would otherwise be a backup solution, otherwise there is no
way to get rid of all those notification bubbles if something goes wrong :(

Maybe i'll track to hack at it soon at least to see how it works.

Actually i used the generic kde-devel since i wasn't sure and still aren't
if it is a plasma issue, a kopete issue , or otherwise and didn't want to
flood everyone :)
