Hello KDE World!

I use Kubuntu Karmic and suddenly, some days ago (I guess after an update) Kopete just stopped starting up. Clicking the icon just gives me the bouncing cursor and running kopete from command line gives no output and just returns after 25 seconds.

apt-get remove and install again didn't help. I'm pasting the part of apt log that tells what I installed in the update that I suspect of being responsible.

update:
kopete --version produces this:

Qt: 4.5.2
KDE: 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2)
Kopete: 0.80.2

Okay, there was a defunct instance of Kopete running. I killed it and now Kopete started normally.
