The problem is not that notifications are enabled by default (of course
they are), but what kind of notifications are enabled. The ones Kopete
issues don't make sense.

Not at all. A change in online status of a contact should be reflected in
your contact list, but is otherwise irrelevant.
it's not irrelevant if you are trying to catch online someone who is online
only time to time

That "User Xyz is typing" notification is also unhelpful and redundant and
should just be disabled by default.
also has use case for me, so even this is disabled by default, I'll turn it on
again
I'll bring this up in the KDE SIG meetings, I think we should
really
disable that stuff by default in kde-settings.
disabling something won't fix it, also I don't think this is that bad that it
requires extra patch to turn it off by default and diverge from upstream
