Shows nick as nickserv instead of my nick

Binary package hint: gossip-telepathy

Using feisty with latest updates.

When I connect to my freenode IRC network, I receive message from NickServ for identification as mine is a registered nick. But in the chat window, in users list I see my nick as nickserv instead of my correct nick.

Please see in attached screenshot. My nick is slytherin but in user list it shows NickServ.

The first time I joined I was displayed successfully as "dsas", I then authenticated to NickServ and disappeared from the list.

I disconnected, exited gossip-telepathy and tried again, this time not authenticating and my nickname is displayed as "NickServ" in the user list, I authenticated and my nickname still displayed as "NickServ" in the user list.

My nickname is displayed as "dsas" to everyone else in the room.

It appears what is happening is that

1. Connect to server using an authenticated nick
2. Receive message from "NickServ"
3. Click on "Room -> Join New"
4. The "Nickname" textbox has now defaulted to NickServ

I also tried authenticating to NickServ and then having someone sending me a private message to see if this changed t the default nickname when using Room->Join New. It didn't.

Upstream is not going to fix it, as they removed support for telepathy in gossip. empathy in gutsy might fix this though. Do you have the problem there?

Empathy in gutsy fixes this.
