I use Kopete with the OTR plugin on a nearly daily basis for AIM with zero 
problems.  I'll try and find time to test KDE Telepathy, but at this point I'm 
not having a problem I need fixed.

Also Kopete is integrated with the Message Indicator we ship in our default 
systray.  Does KDE Telepathy integrate with it?
