(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.
