 With 2.3.0, when I'm talking with someone on MSN, instead of seeing my
 name in front of the lines I'm writing, I see another one. I'm not clear
 about the exact condition yet, but it's not always the other contacts
 name, but maybe some random on-line buddy.

 Let me explain.

 On MSN, my nick is Chris, and I'm talking with someone who's nick is Bobi,
 but I call him Xho. Here are a few lines of the conversation:
 ----------------------------
 (18:08:01) Bobi: I'm going for a coffee in a while
 (18:08:06) Xho: ok
 (18:08:18) Bobi: did you see any of the movies?
 (18:08:30) Xho: yes:$
 (18:08:39) Xho: the bad....boys
 (18:08:40) Bobi: which ones?
 ----------------------------

 The lines of Bobi are actually my lines.

 Later on, my name changed to akili, I believe at the point when one of my
 buddies, whose nick is akili, logged in.

 Here's a couple of lines again:

 ----------------------------
 (18:14:11) akili: we were discussing the other day about the USB ports,
 remember?
 (18:14:17) Xho: yes
 (18:14:28) akili: I told you there are extensions for that purpose
 (18:14:34) Xho: ok
 (18:14:35) Xho: ok
 ----------------------------
 Again, my lines are the ones labeled with akili.
