I figured out how to change the avatar for "at least" the Yahoo IM.

Go to this thread for a how to.

I have wireless and habitually hibernate the PC every night. When I restore from hibernation the wireless takes a while to reconnect. While its doing so I get spammed with login dialogs from telepathy

Telepathy 0.5.0

The very important thing, for moi, is that it easily integrate with Yahoo, which it did immediately.

It looks very "professional and well done",

The "IM presence widget" worked immediately, it does have to be connected manually, but it is just a click.

The only quibble for moi, and it is not a big one, is that it does not allow using a custom avatar yet, but I'm sure that it will come in due time.

The IMPORTANT thing is that there is, finally, a working, well done, IM client for KDE, and therefore Kubuntu!

good job to the devs!

Ok, here's another one, anyone else have this or know a fix?

when i close my contacts window kde-telepathy goes offline. I have to re-set it to online and it connects right back. but it takes me offline everytime i close the contact list window.

You should use the plasma-widget-telepathy-presence widget. Just place it in your system tray and you shouldn't lose your presence when closing the window.

Well, I think KDE-Telepathy has a lot of potential and I use it as permanently. However I miss a couple of things:
- The ability to change my status on specific accounts without opening the account manager.
- The ability to interact with Kaddressbook

These two off the top of my head right now.

Everytime i connect kde-telepathy I have the same requests. I deny them everytime but they always come back at next login. VERY annoying.

I get that too, with Yahoo, but I also do on my phone using a third party android im client, so I just assumed it was a common issue with yahoo.

There is a bug 'request' to add the ability to Block contact requests, without having to accept or reject the requests.

cant get rid of requests.

Until it supports OTR or an equivalent encryption/privacy stack, kde-telepathy is not useful to me.

Otherwise, I am happy to see telepathy come to KDE and look forward to the tighter integration it is sure to bring. Nice work, so far.
