Summary: Kopete per-protocol error dialogs are annoying AND
dangerous
Product: kopete
Version: unspecified
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kopete-devel kde org
ReportedBy: kde_bugzilla.zen.ssokolow spamgourmet com
Version: 0.12.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from: Compiled From Sources
Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20070214 ( (gdc 0.23, using dmd 1.007))
(Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.0.1)
OS: Linux
Not only are the procotol-specific errors focus-stealing, modal, and too common
(eg. the ones which basically say "I don't know what the server is complaining
about. I'm going to hope for the best"), they can actually be dangerous.
I just woke up to a frozen X session which, according to the <#> component of
the title bar, was trying to deal with 452 of them. (Opened in less than 8
hours while I slept)
I had to SSH in and repeatedly SIGKILL kopete... and wait for several minutes
while the X server picked itself up off the floor. This is not acceptable.
How about some kind of error log window instead? Each message could begin with
the name of the procol which sent it and whether it appears and/or is raised
above the other windows could be a user-configurable setting.
