I'm working on several MSN related issues outside the branch in HEAD, so I 
can't commit. Could you add the callback and ditch the whole 
QObject/signal/slot mess we created in KopeteMessage and repost the patch?

Means you can revert quite some of your code, like QValueList can return, mocs 
no longer need inclusion, etc. Also means the code hopefully will be more 
readable and maintainable. Sorry for the extra work... :/

Just like you said, I also think Kopete is a rare place where there's too 
*much* of signal/slots currently, and in KopeteMessage it showed off...

No that I know except what you already found out.

Yes, try to collect the requirements from the various plugins so we actually 
know what stuff is needed in the chat window. Currently I have no good view 
about what is needed and what is not, which makes defining an API painful at 
best.
