Kopete has always done this for me, it's incredibly annoying. If you find a solution please post back here! Since you stipulated GTalk, my only recommendation other than Kopete would be Pidgin. If you want an MSN-only client at some point you might try Mercury Messenger (Java based, very full support, including webcam), or the excellent KMess (relatively young, no webcam or other tricks but light, fast and nicely integrated into KDE). I've recently discovered the latter and it's now my MSN program of choice. Cheers, Paul -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
