 "
 User xxx has given you permission to add you to their buddy list. Do you
 want to add them?
 "

 Add who? There is no way to tell, because all I see is the ICQ number.

 There are two ways to handle the situation:

 1) Automatically retrieve user info and present it to me wit the question:
 "Do you want to add this user"

 2) Add a third button, "View user details", that would allow me to see
 user info and make an educated guess as to whether I want to add this user
 or not

 Right now the info this message box provieds is absolutely useless as I
 still have to go to icq.com, manually type the xxx in the search box and
 so on...

 I don't know if it's still an issue for 2.2.2 though...
