Something you miss in Kopete yourself maybe?

In general, I want to 'outsource' more stuff from the protocols into libkopete 
for 0.5, so if you are strong at API/software design you're more than welcome 
to help out there.

If you want simple stuff, the tab order of the widgets in the MSN prefs dialog 
needs fixing, and the 'add contact' stuff needs a serious redesign as well. 
More GUI problems are easy to find as well I think.

And the emoticon support should change. What I would like is to have emoticon 
'sets', like 'Kopete', 'Trillian', 'MSN', 'Yahoo', etc, that can enabled by 
the user. The order in which they are listed determines which emoticon takes 
precedence.

[x] Enable Emoticons
------------------------------------------------------
Available Sets                Active Sets
--------------                -----------
MSN                           Kopete
Yahoo           [ >  Add   ]  Trillian    [ /\  Up  ]
ICQ             [ < Remove ]  Gaim        [ \/ Down ]
Jabber

Additionally, this emoticon support should get an extra tab for each protocol,

Emoticons
------------------------------------------------------
( ) Disable
(x) Use Kopete settings
( ) Add the following to the Kopete settings
( ) Use only the following

So you can enable e.g. the MSN set only for the MSN protocol, or always, or 
never.
