Wow! Thanks for including us in the discussion. (Trust me, this is much nicer 
than the first thing that came to mind).The reason kopete sends messages with 
Ctrl+Enter is because the KDE default is Ctrl+Enter. Also, sending messages 
is completely configurable from the Configure Shortcuts menu item in the 
Settings menu.  So, in essence, you're saying the KDE default for sending 
messages should be Enter now, is that correct?

Also, I have to object to the way this was handled. You can't just pass down 
some decision that affects an app without letting the people who actually 
work on the app discuss it as well. That's complete bullshit. So anyways, 
unless one of the Kopete developers gets time to do before Sunday, you're SOL 
on this for KDE 3.2 (at least from my POV).

Matt
