[Bug 82799] Kopete overloads system

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kopete

If a contact attempts to send the user a large number of files kopete
will continue opening "Accept File Transfer?" windows to the point where
it begins to use enormous amounts of memory and cpu time. This isnt
really a bug more a feature request I guess, there should be some way to
stop a malicious contact from attempting to crash your msn session by
sending large numbers of files (it ends up fully crashing/hanging
kde/the system because kopete handles file transfers differently to the
native msn client).

** Affects: kdenetwork (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
