 (14:00:59) IkimashoZ: I'm connecting through gtalk
 (14:01:07) IkimashoZ: when someone talks to me, it shows their name
 (14:01:18) IkimashoZ: ala "Alex Bochkov:"
 (14:01:21) IkimashoZ: for me
 (14:01:24) IkimashoZ: it shows this:
 (14:01:33) IkimashoZ: "ikimashoz at gmail.com/Home6EB12406:"
 (14:01:45) IkimashoZ: is there any way to get my "full name" from google
 and show that instead?
 (14:02:44) etan1: Well you can give your account in pidgin an alias and it
 will display there, I'm not sure we have a way to use the alias you give
 the account on the server for that.

 (14:16:19) etan1: Yeah. I don't think we do anything with our own vCard
 data beyond storing it locally as a big xml string blob.

 We should support using this sort of alias for accounts when no local
 alias exists.
