Comment 4 for bug 473662

Binary package hint: empathy

In Empathy, when going into Edit >> Personal Information, the program refuses to save any alias that I set for my Yahoo account. The alias listed is always the same as my account ID. For example, if my Yahoo ID is robert1234, and I want to set my alias as "Bob," Empathy will not let me do this. Overall, I think that Pidgin is a much better IM client. I'm also not a fan at all of the "set status" options in the main Ubuntu task bar that interface with Empathy or other IM clients.
