Please file an upstream bug for this at http://trac.kmess.org/ and add a link to it here. Re-open this bug if there's any progress (e. g. a patch, workaround, etc.) on said upstream bug that would allow us to fix this.
Yeah, I'll file it. However I still think this is something you might have had to do instead. Btw, KMess does not accept bug reports via Trac. There was a note that i should post it in the forums instead, so here you go: http://www.kmess.org/board/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3108
Fixed upstream in 1.5.1. Closing.
