If we did that, distributions would need to have plasmifiedkopete +
standardkopete. We don't want that
I don't think it's possible to add a textfield for that, but again I think
that this interaction should be outside the kopete binary.

You can do a plasmoid that does this kind of stuff just by interacting with
the dbus interface.

You don't want to have 2 kopete instances.
