So?

What does that have to do with a group having a list of it's child contacts?

Why wouldn't the contact in both groups *be* the same contact? They're

Yess... if your protocol doesn't support subgroups then you want one flattened group, you don't
want a group with flattened subgroups.

I really dont think you understand what I am talking about, you're going on about

that implements this Kopete-wide and post it.
