Comment 3 for bug 680817

I don't even have to reboot. As soon as I close the "Personal Information" window, it resets. The change is completely ignored.

I wonder if this is related to being connected from both my desktop and my laptop. They're both logged in as the same Jabber user, and I can't give my laptop another alias. On my desktop it's "colan", while my laptop is defaulting to "colan@...". I'd like to set it to "colan-laptop", but it won't let me.
