[Bug 89346] Kopete: jabber starts up slow

[Henrik Pauli]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kopete

Hi all,

We tried to report this in the official tracker, but were told that this
is likely an ubuntu-specific bug, and thus we should report here.
Unfortunately, Malone doesn't allow me to file a kopete bug directly, so
I’m kinda cheating my way around.

The mentioned KDE.org bug is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142062

Whenever I have a Jabber account (or two) set up, Kopete takes ages to
load and there are yellow alert exclamation marks on the plugin icons in
the status bar for a while.  Exiting is similarly sluggish.

Bram Schoenmakers says that: "[The plugin's files] should be installed
in $KDEDIR/share/apps/kopete_jabber/ . If it's not, then Ubuntu hacked
something together that the file is not on the right place or not
present at all." -- indeed no such directory was present, while other
plugins all had their respective directories, with some files in them.

Could someone better at C++ than I am please look into this?

** Affects: kdenetwork (Ubuntu)
