[Bug 90020] Kopete should not use a patched contact list by default

[Tarek]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdenetwork

Feisty's Kopete appears to have a  modified contact list (
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyFawn/Herd4/Kubuntu#head-
4d575b0b04e320f919b389b2187bcabfae0f122f ), which is done via Kopete
reloading kits (
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22kopete+reloading+kit%22 ). These kits
are patches on the source.

Unfortunately for me, I am running a high-resolution screen (1600x1200),
and the avatars are now unusably small.

In addition, the colour scheme of the contact list is not comprehensible
to me, and amounts to a low-contrast scheme that makes managing my
contact list even more difficult.

This problem cannot be easily rectified, since it requires another
patched version to be compiled.

My proposed solution is reversion to the stock KDE Kopete theme, or
otherwise permit the user choice in the various themes.
