I really don't care how I can enable this feature, as long at it is possible at all \
;) If it requires editing "hidden" options, that's fine with me. It would just \
increase Kopete's usability for me _personally_ enough to make that my default \
messenger.

As fot the number of options, having too many options does not hurt as much as having \
too few options. If people are happy with the default settings, they can easily \
ignore the options. If people are missing one option or another, they can't do \
anything to change that. Also, it is always possible to hide stuff like that behind a \
"Advanced" button. I really can't see how this can disturb or hurt anybody.

I always found the configurability one of the major advantages of KDE over Gnome, and \
of Linux over Windows. Easy is not always good. Reasonable default settings and \
hidden options are cool for newbies, but the pros should still have the possibility \
to tweak their system as much as they want. This is exactly what Linux and most KDE \
programs can give me.
