Component:  unclassified                   |   Version:  2.5.5     
 Keywords:  pidgin google talk buddy name  |  
-------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
 while using google talk account in pidgin I can't see updated contact
 (buddy) name in contact list.

 Steps to reproduce:
 1. start pidgin with google talk account logged in and any of your friends
 in contact list using this protocol
 2. your friend updates his name (example from John to Joe) - via google
 account preferences
 3. you right click this buddy in your contact list, details show correct
 (new) name, but name in contact list stays unchanged.
 Restart of pidgin doesn't help neither.

 I've seen this on WinXP version as well as on version in Ubuntu 9.04. On
 both I use the same version of pidgin - 2.5.5.
