#7570: Private chats via XMPP MUC can yield private chats instead of private chats
via MUC

 Not sure when this changed, but when in a XMPP MUC, clicking on a username
 in the room list used to initiate a private chat via the MUC.  (Talking
 with their room handle)...

 If either party is able to see the real JIDs in the room, pidgin will now
 initiate a truely private chat with the bare JID and not the room handle
 via the MUC.

 The issue is this situation, where the room consists of admins and general
 users.  The admins can see the general users JIDs, but not vice versa.

 If the general user initates a private chat via the MUC, they have given a
 private chat via the MUC against their handle.

 If the admin initates it, then their JID is exposed to the general user in
 the form of a 1 on 1 chat.

 While I can see this new feature as a nice addition, we would rather see
 the 1on1 MUC chat supported.

 Sorry if I am loose with the terminology here...

 thanks!
