 Problem:
  User wants to copy the account name (screen name, w/e) of the users buddy
 to the clipboard. The users buddy is assigned an alias with multiple
 accounts under the alias, or even only one account under the alias.

 Current method:
  The user needs to expand the alias's contents, and provided that the
 accounts listed under the alias are not themselves aliased, manually copy
 the name of the buddy, or watch the pop up menu and copy the name
 themselves.

 Solution:
  When user right clicks on an alias, a context menu called Copy Account
 Name is added, which allows the user to select which account to copy to
 the clipboard.

 Additional comments:
  In conversation window, under "conversation -> more", could possibly add
 a "copy this buddy's account to the clipboard" menu item.
