It should be documented mostly in the .h files and if it's not that's a bug. 
Report things that are not clear or add docs yourself when you find out 
something.

As ICQ doesn't implement KopeteContact::rename() yet that seems unlikely to 
me. Unless a mere setDisplayName() would be enough to cause this (the default 
implementation).

Anyway, this is intentional. If I rename a contact I rename a contact. Not 
part of it but the whole contact. It's no coincidence that I carefully leave 
out the word 'meta contact' from the GUI - the user just has contacts and a 
contact is associated to one or more accounts for one or more protocols. A 
user couldn't (and shouldn't) care less about the fact that internally we 
split that into the meta contact container class and the kopetecontact with 
the actual data.

So if a user renames his contact it's supposed to be renamed everywhere to 
avoid unpleasant surprises when switching from Kopete to the real MSN for 
example.

If you request Kopete to rename the contact then obviously you have a reason 
to override, no? :)
