 > So are we ever gonna get this?

 I don't believe - look, we have 2007 and it still isn't happening. Thats
 some gnomish stuff, like not including CMYK support in GIMP - altough
 without it, its almost unusable in a print production enviroment.

 Because I don't want to let it look like my OS isn't capable of handling
 that, I will switch now to Kopete permanently - until now, every time I
 have to tell the people "uhm, wait, i switch the application to do webcam
 support".

 Also themeing is much more advanced on Kopete, they can also use Mac OS X
 Adium - Style, too!

 Yes, I know Kopete is sometimes somewhat crashy, but it has so much
 features every commercial instant messenger has, features, of whom the
 developers are relatively ignorant, when I look at the bug reports of the
 last years!

 I think its also a reason, that those features are really important for
 the users - but developers doesnt see a sense in them (and I think many of
 the hardcore dev's want to see themselves on a webcam after 20 hours of
 coding *g* sorry for that)

 Besides the fun that is the reason I think. Developers have no use for
 webcam. Users who wanna videochat with half-naked girls have! *g*
