[Gaim-devel] New patch

[<ru...@pa...>]

Hi again.

I need the patch because:

1) Some of my buddies change their server alias more frecuently (to
something cracy and unreadable as "$%&//F.g.H.\\%$") than I like.
2) Other buddies use their alias to show interesting information (lunch
at 2pm).

If I use only local alias, I lost the interesting info of some buddies.
If I use only server alias I feel confused with the buddies that use a
crazy server alias.

The solution: Use the local (usually short and easy reading) nickname
first and the server alias after.

I think about another options but now I feel ok with my short dual-alias
patch. For example:

- nickname order ("local alias - server alias " or "server alias - local
alias") 

- alternate nicknames (for example: 2s show local alias, 2s show server
alias, 2s local again and so on)

Next, the new patch (cvs diff -u > patch). ;)

You should really learn the glib string functions.

This directly conflicts with the new buddy list I've been working on,
but I'll consider some way of implementing this behavior when I'm a bit
further along.

-s.

Hahaha.  I made the same mistake in my patch.  I should learn glib's
string functions too  :-)
