Comment (by arbab):

 Replying to [comment:1 datallah]:
 > This patch has the side effect of exposing these values in the UI (which
 presumably wasn't the original intent, or it would have been done in the
 first place).  I'm not necessarily opposed to exposing them, although if
 they aren't values that should be messed with under normal circumstances,
 perhaps there's a another better solution.

 I see what you're saying.  The thing is, the fake_client_id boolean, which
 governs the behavior, is already exposed.  So if a user is able to turn
 that on, faking their client ID, why shouldn't they be allowed to specify
 further the fake values that actually get used?

 It seems Pidgin users who take advantage of this already know to edit the
 values directly in accounts.xml.  My particular itch is that there is no
 analagous workaround with bitlbee.
