I've just realized this was still not processed, i had a look and Kopete has a 
billion of "Name" one would have to change, and i realized too i don't have 
time nor motivation to do that big change, so if someone decides to do the 
patch and send it to me for review cool, otherwise you'll have to file a bug 
in bugs.kde.org explaining the situation and hope the Kopete dudes fix it.
