GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 655202
Behaviour when opening chat windows for Meta-Contacts could be improved
Last modified: 2011-07-24 13:10:16 UTC
Version: 2.34 (Ubuntu) When double-clicking on a Meta-Contact a chat window is opened. This window always belongs to the same protocol and there is no way to specify which protocol is used by default. This is a bit annoying because i want to chat via ICQ most of the time but via double click I always get a googlechat window (unless the contact is only online in ICQ). So I have to select ICQ from the context menu. Another problem is that a new googlechat is opened even if there is already an open ICQ chat window for this Meta-Contact. In my opinion there are three possilities to enhance this: * allow to define a user sepcific or overall default protocol or a priority of protocols * if a chat window is already opened don't open a new one but show the existing one * if a chat window has been opened and was closed recently, reopen a chat window with that protocol. its annoying for contacts if messages arrive via different protocols in short intervals. In addition a chat window does not show the protocol it is using. Would be nice if this could be displayed too.
