Comment(by azn137):

 Replying to [comment:14 xnyhps]:
 > This is because GTalk has started using XEP-0172 for nicknames (see also
 #864). How clients should support this is actually quite unclear to me
 (what to do in case someone picks the same nick as someone else already
 has?).
 When doubling on those "random strings", pidgin does open the correct chat
 window of the person using their name, which means pidgin knows whom those
 strings belong to. Is there a way for us to do some kind of "reverse
 lookup" or something?
