Bug Description

pidgin-facebook-1.60 (currently in karmic) is really broken. It doesn't cause stability problems but it's unusable. When chatting with someone on facebook they popped up as a number but I had to chat out in a different window as their actual name. This appears to be fixed in 1.61 which I installed manually and is working perfectly for me.

Now that Facebook Chat supports Jabber, this addin is largely unneeded. It appears to still be maintained since apparently FB's XMPP does not support some features the plugin does [1] but I don't think a backport is a priority.
