I have been working on a) yesterday and I hope I can get this in a 
reasonable shape. I am going to upload an updated patchset today.

I fixed the bug which caused Kopete window not to come back when you 
click on the "Kopete" entry in the indicator.

I had to extend Kopete plugin API (but kept it binary compatible) so 
that a plugin can decide whether it allows the application to quit when 
one click the (x) window button.
This means that whether you have systray enabled or not, if the 
indicator plugin is activated then closing the window will not quit. 
Instead, it will show a message box similar to the one you get when 
Kopete tells you it  continues to run in the systray.

I need to improve it to only behave this way if an "indicator listener" 
(plasma-indicatordisplay or gnome indicator-applet) is found.

b) is for Jonathan :)

As for c), doing so would mean unckecking the "show system tray icon" 
behind the user back (I do not have any other mean), which is not 
acceptable I think.
