Comment 5 for bug 524998

Sorry, I couldn't do that.

However, I found a work-around for the issue of my own jabber account appearing in the buddy list (though not the webcam + microphone issue mentioned above). I right-clicked and removed the contact (myself). However, it would be useful for other users if they did not appear in their own jabber lists at all (e.g. via automatic removal/hiding of that contact if possible).
