kopete skype plugin crashes on chat window close

[Bernie Bernstein]

Binary package hint: kopete

If a skype chat window within kopete is closed while the kopete main window is hidden (i.e. minimized to tray icon), either the skype plugin or the skype application crashes. This leaves kopete in a weird state where it can no longer be restored by the tray icon. This can only be rectified by clicking on the kopete shortcut from the applications menu, clicking on file/quit, and then restarting the kopete application.

This does not appear to happen when the main kopete window is on the desktop, it only appears to happen when the main kopete window is "closed" but still accessible by the tray icon.

Steps to reproduce:
1. start kopete with a skype account
2. select a skype user to bring up a chat window
3. close main skype window (leave running in background)
4. close chat window
5. notice that the skype application is gone and the main skype window can not be restored by the tray icon

This happens to me too, not only with skype chat windows but any chat window type.

When I close the last tab on a window chat (i.e. the whole window) with Kopete window minimized on the tray icon, the window is closed by I can't restore kopete window just clicking on the tray icon. As Bernie says I have to open it from the applications menu or with shorcut (ctrl + shift + s) and then quit due to its weird state.

I use:
Ubuntu 11.04

~$ kopete --version
Qt: 4.7.2
«KDE Development Platform»: 4.6.2 (4.6.2)
Kopete: 1.0.80
