Bug Description

When I choose not to show real names in Gwibber, it sets that preference for both Facebook and Twitter. This is, in my opinion, a bug. Facebook users almost never refer to their usernames. They only have them because it makes your profile easier to link to. Twitter users, on the other hand, refer to theirs and others' usernames constantly, almost never using (or even seeing) someone's real name.

I think this option should either only apply to Twitter (and any other services where it makes sense) or you should be able to select which services display which.

Maybe, "show real names" setting should protocol based (on Broadcast Accounts dialog)?
