Bug Description

Binary package hint: pidgin-facebookchat

It's more of a aesthetic change than a bug, but when a contact logs in for the first time in the session, pidgin facebookchat shows a long number code instead of a name in the notifications, indicator applet, and in the tooltip in the main window, as shown in the following screenshots:

After the contact logs off and in again it shows the name without problems in the notifications, but the number still shows in the main window tooltip.
