Is there any excuse for even allowing a user to type username@domain 
into the Screen name box on Jabber? I remember using one client (could 
well be Gajim) which automatically switched focus to the second box when 
an "@" is typed (making it really obvious what's expected).

Without looking at the Advanced options, one might easily assume that 
"Server" is actually the connect server, hence still needing the domain 
in the screen name box.
