           Summary: (Phoebe) Long startup, crash when moving contact, two
                    menu entries
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: RedHat RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-devel@kde.org
        ReportedBy: benjaminvanderjagt@adelphia.net


Version:           0.6.1a (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs

Sorry, I know KDE bugzilla somewhat says not to report a bug when using beta \
software.  I think this is a good instance to enter bug info, tho.

0.6.1 does not compile from .src.rpm nor from tarball.  The .src.rpm complains that \
Qt is not 3.1 or higher, but it is 3.1.1 in my case.  The tarball complains that it \
can't find libraries in the folder that I am building from.  I get the same problem \
with CVS.  I've always had the tar and CVS building problems with RH 8.0 and 8.1.  \
Source RPMs used to compile just fine in RH8.0.

After installing the precompiled .i386.rpm (totally fresh), I got two menu entries \
for kopete, neither with an icon.  Starting kopete 0.6.1 always takes around 30 \
seconds (using 100% cpu) before it starts logging in.  It doesn't matter how much \
stuff I have running or how fast my computer is; it's always the same length of time. \
If I recompile the Source RPM (as I did in 8.0) for athlon processor, it takes around \
1/3 the amount of time.

My ICQ contact list was split into three parts, for whatever reason.  I tried to move \
a contact to the top, and it crashed.  It did that every time I tried.

I tried uninstalling with rpm -e, but it says that kopete was not installed.

I searched around all my computers here and found an old 0.5.1 i386 RPM and installed \
it over top of my current 0.6.1 install.  It works perfectly.  In fact, the first \
time, my AIM logged in automatically!

This report is mostly a wishlist.  I've noticed that, although Kopete is \
exceptionally well made, Red Hat never really likes it.  My wish is that you would \
continue to supply old versions of kopete.  I searched online and couldn't find any.  \
I only have the i386 RPM, and I'd like to have the Source RPM.
