I did not know that in process slaves weren't supported yet. 

A simple way to do it would just be to have the IO slave download a local copy 
of the file then have Kopete send that, but this seems foolish. Perhaps the 
file transfer code could just be left in Kopete, but have the actual 
transfers done via a KIO slave, with the slave passing the file data to 
kopete via a DCOP channel?

Till's idea for a user directory could be neat... like going to kopete:// 
would bring up a directory structure of metacontacts. Then 
kopete://contactname brings up a structure listing the protocols for that 
user (Maybe some other "files" as well, such as an addressbook vcard?!). If 
you want to send a file to a user, you would just "copy" it to either his 
metacontact "folder" (Kopete then chooses protocol to send with), or copy it 
to his protocol "folder", in which case Kopete will use that protocol to 
deliver it
