[Bug 81180] kopete does not send photo from global identity for MSN

[totya]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kopete

I found a bug in kopete which is also reported in upstream.

"I had set a photo in the global identity only. For me this means, use
that photo for all my accounts. Yet for MSN it seems that one has to
explicitly enable the "export photo", which I would suspect kopete does
when enabling a global photo."

The bug (KDE #131412) reported in the upstream on the following URL:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131412

Patch for this problem included in the above URL.
