This doesn't surprise me, although it does surprise me that they are
ASCII nicks.  What that patch does is attempt a series of "logical"
conversions for an alias, and if they all fail it gives up and removes
it.  I am pleased that it seems to have fallen back properly and
simply not provided an alias; I am not pleased that it failed.  For
now I'll get this committed (as it seems to be better than what we
had before), and I'll look into why it might have been failing for
other things.

If you meant to put that less-than sign at the end of the file, then it
is invalid xml.

Yes, it seems to be crashing while writing out the blist.xml file ...
if it crashes with a partially written file, then the file would be
corrupt.

I'm still looking into this, although I've not had much time to put
into it the past couple of days.  The problem seems to be that
server-side aliases are not always stored in utf-8, although winaim
seems to do this.  I don't have enough data on icq200x to know what
the Right Thing to Do is, and I'm having trouble getting people to
collect that data for me.

After some changes are made, this will be customizable again. I'm busy
with school and stuff, so I can't develop this as quick as I'd like.
It'll get done eventually, though. Please be patient just a little
longer :)

I've been looking into adding another way to distinguish between gaim
connections.  When you have multiple IRC connections, all using the same
nick (I generally connect to around 6 networks), it's hard to tell them
apart in the Accounts list, and the Send As pulldown.  Modifying the
gaim_connection struct isn't an option, because it's not assigned to the
aim_user until an actual connection is created; so, the aim_user struct is
the way to go, I think.  I'm looking for suggestions on how to cleanly do
this; the gaim framework would have to be told where to grab this server
string from, would have to be told that there is a server string (for
something like OSCAR, it's not necessary; for IRC, perhaps use
OPT_PROTO_SERVER_DISPLAY as a protocol option to tell it to display the
server), and would need to have something initialize this string after
.gaimrc is read, but before the Accounts screen could be displayed.  

Also, I'd appreciate inclusion/feedback on my irc autojoin patch; this is
the one thing keeping me tied to 0.59.

IRC_extras plugin, allows you to specify channels to autojoin and a
nickname to use when you go 'away' in gaim, as well as auto authenticating
you (to nickserv for example).

According to the previous post, the first priority for display in the buddy list is the local alias, and if that is not available, the remote nick will be used.  I use gaim primarily for msn, and don't have much interest in setting the alias manually, so I had hoped that removing the alias from a user would force gaim to automatically update their nick.  When I tried this, however, it displayed not their nick, but their msn address.  Now it seems that they have no displayed name, and the only way to give them one is to type it in by hand.  Am I missing something, or is there some way to actually display remote nicks in the buddy list?


did you enable the display of server side nicks in the default screen of 
preferences?

Thanx,
Also I cannot see the exact string of the away message (e.g. "out to
lunch" or "brb" etc..) with the usernames. I see the clock(MSN) and the
stop sign(Yahoo) on top of the username but not the status message. 
When I keep the cursor on a user name and a baloon/tool tip (donno linux
variant for these phrases) showing the username and friendly name but
not the status message. Neither its there at the title bar of the
chat/im window of a perticular conversation.
Just thought this would be useful

At least for MSN, right click the buddy and the last item on the context 
menu will display the exact status.

I assume this high ascii char is an accent character of some sort?
