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.
