Dear kopete-team,

I sadly like to report, that it is still not possible, to offer the webcam
to someone else (neither with yahoo nor anyway else). It seems, the button
for offering a webcamchat has no effect, although in configuration options
of kopete, the webcam is funtioning well (gspca2 and uvcvideo).

Someone reported of an error in the sourcecode of kopete, and told, that the key code
of webcam invitation is not correctly read. I am no coder, so I did not
quite understand this. It is just a hint, please apologize.


This bug was reported before,too, but somehow it was was forgotten, or
accidently closed, so I would like to reopen it again.

Thank you very much for reading this. 

Best regards

Hans-J. Ullrich
