libpurple / Friendly name

[Cedric Roche]

No I didn't. But now that I did, the callback is indeed entering the request_input function. But I can see in the prototype of request_input anything corresponding to a parameter (friendly name) I want to change. I tried user_data but did'nt work.

Actualy I still have no idea how to do that. This is very frustrating because changing the user name must be a very basic option.

Thx
