hello,

another question on the KMM design. KMM is in charge of emitting messageSent 
when a message is sent from the message window.

but when (if at any) is it deleted ? (it emits a dying() signal... i suppose 
it's for something). i wouldn't expect a KMM to have the same lifecycle as 
Kopete... at least if it models a "chat session".

are the plugins expected to keep track of the KMMs they use ?
 - if they don't, do they create one on each incoming message with the help of 
the factory ? that's a problem because the factory doesn't tell us if it's a 
newly created KMM or an existing reused KMM. so how do we know if we have to 
reconnect the messageSent ?
 - if they do, it defeats some of the purpose of having the factory that helps 
reuse opened chat sessions, because the plugin has to find out if it a KMM 
for some chat session already existed anyways.

one solution would be for the factory to tell us wheter it's a new KMM or not 
somehow.

i've looked at how jabber does it, and storing KMMs in Contacts won't work for 
multiuser chats...
