Hi All,

I am a c++ programmer, and I also wish to contribute to kopete.

I downloaded and build the kopete. And I run the kopete and tried to creat
an IM account, but I am not able to.
I followed this document -
http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdenetwork/kopete/getting-started.html
As per the document In the setting->configure window on the left side there
should be some icons but in my kopete nothing is displayed.  I run kopete
without any parameters, should I have to pass any command line parameters.
What I am doing wrong?

Any Suggestions will be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

Regards
Srinath.D
