what if i installed kopete from a deb package? i added the
kubuntu-experimental repo, and did an aptitude full-upgrade. i got
libmsn from source forge, and installed it. i'm not on my kubuntu box
right now, but that is enough to get msn support? will kopete
automagically find the library and use it? thanks in advance
