Kopete has always done this for me, it's incredibly annoying. If you |
| 18 |
find a solution please post back here! Since you stipulated GTalk, my |
| 19 |
only recommendation other than Kopete would be Pidgin. If you want an |
| 20 |
MSN-only client at some point you might try Mercury Messenger (Java |
| 21 |
based, very full support, including webcam), or the excellent KMess |
| 22 |
(relatively young, no webcam or other tricks but light, fast and nicely |
| 23 |
integrated into KDE). I've recently discovered the latter and it's now |
| 24 |
my MSN program of choice. |
