Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kopete

If a skype chat window within kopete is closed while the kopete main
window is hidden (i.e. minimized to tray icon), either the skype plugin
or the skype application crashes.  This leaves kopete in a weird state
where it can no longer be restored by the tray icon.  This can only be
rectified by clicking on the kopete shortcut from the applications menu,
clicking on file/quit, and then restarting the kopete application.

This does not appear to happen when the main kopete window is on the
desktop, it only appears to happen when the main kopete window is
"closed" but still accessible by the tray icon.

Steps to reproduce:
1. start kopete with a skype account
2. select a skype user to bring up a chat window
3. close main skype window (leave running in background)
4. close chat window
5. notice that the skype application is gone and the main skype window can not be restored by the tray icon
