On the console, one just sees: kopete(4980)/libkopete Kopete::PluginManager::loadPluginInternal: Unable to find a plugin named ' "kopete_msn" '! kopete(4980)/libkopete Kopete::PluginManager::loadPluginInternal: Unable to find a plugin named ' "" '! Also, Kopete can't seem to start kwallet ---- console output : start ---- $ kopete Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing. Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing.
