 I suppose -- depending on whether setting the name on Pidgin sends it to
 server -- meaning that it would "lock" (until said option was disabled)
 your name to whatever you set it to, every time you log into Pidgin - and
 after, if one opened it on for example Windows Live, one would now have
 the Pidgin locked nickname (and after changing on WinLive, it'd go back
 next Pidgin Launch. Of course, it's all things that can be addressed.
