Hi,

Thanks!

Apologies for not putting the steps to reproduce in the bug. If you enter the  
"/setkey" command in any channel, successful outcome is a message explaining 
the correct parameters:

[Usage] Usage: /setkey <nick|channel> <key> sets the encryption key for nick 
or channel. /setkey <key> when in a channel or query tab sets the key for it. 
The key field recognises "cbc:" and "ecb:" prefixes to set the block cipher mode 
of operation to either Cipher-Block Chaining or Electronic Codebook. The mode 
it defaults to when no prefix is given can be changed in the configuration 
dialog under Behaviour -> Connection -> Encryption -> Default Encryption Type, 
with the default for that setting being Electronic Codebook (ECB).

Failure is the message about QCA being built:

[Error] Setting an encryption key requires Konversation to have been built 
with support for the Qt Cryptographic Architecture (QCA) library. Contact your 
distributor about a Konversation package with QCA support, or rebuild 
Konversation with QCA present.


I can confirm it works for me in 1.6-2


Thanks again,

Andy
