Huh????

No...

The contact saving code does the following:

void saveContact( KopeteContact *c )
{
  ...
  KConfig *conf;

  conf->writeStringEntry( "Nickname", c->nickname() );
  conf->writeStringEntry( "Groups", c->groups() );
  conf->writeStringEntry( "PluginData", c->serialize() );
  ...
}

and the restore code does the reverse of that.

(Note that serialize is a void function, it just serializes the WHOLE object, 
not single fields! If you know Delphi, it's modeled a bit after the 
ultra-powerful TPersistent streaming methods, though with a simpler API, 
because we don't need that much functionality. )

Very elegant solution if you ask me :-)
