For AIM then, there should be no "serv_got_(public_)alias" call because 
one does not exist.  It should only call "serv_got_private_alias" when 
appropriate, and Pidgin will never have any public alias to show for AIM 
buddies in lieu of their screen name.

ICQ names we set on our buddies are still stored as private aliases that 
no one else sees, so they would have both, right?
