"About"-menu, those have been compiled in but are shown as grayed out so you cannot select them. No idea why this happens... any library missing?
I say this sadly, since I cut my teeth on Kopete development, but Kopete's video support rotted since none of the existing video chat protocol maintainers (MSN and Yahoo) kept up with protocol changes on the server (They have good excuses, both started families, one is the lead on a large SLE deployment in the US and the other is an engineer on the Studio team here - who has time to chat?). Additionally the Jingle support for video over XMPP was never completed. I'm more optimistic that with the recent implementation of generic video capture support in Phonon we can drop the brittle v4l2 code in Kopete's frontend, and with a port to Telepathy we get video support in the backends, in theory.
