Comment:

 Replying to [comment:3 MarkDoliner]:
 > deryni: We don't have the separate "Format my Username" dialog anymore.
 Instead the oscar prpl formats the screen name based on how it is entered
 in the accounts window.  So it shouldn't be possible for him to enter a
 username that is different than the one he signed on.

 > rsoto: What type of username is this?  Is it a standard AIM username
 composed of only letters and numbers?  Or is it an email address?  If you
 open the Modify Account window in Pidgin, is the username entered with all
 lowercase and no spaces?
