It is only reproduceable 50% of the times.

Changing the avatar, with a 96x96 image sometimes has no effect. The avatar is also not viewed from other clients.

Attaching the logs of the application. The application is MeeGo Chat, meego-app-im.

The telepathy-haze version is 0.3.6-2.1

I have the same problem with ICQ. I can't change the Alias or Avatar image for ICQ.

Same for me. Ubuntu Oneiric x64, Empathy 3.2.0.1.
Can't change the Alias or Avatar for an Yahoo account.

Thank you for taking timein filing the bug to make ubuntu better.
can you please make the vedio of the bug it may help to see what happening?

[Adi (aditzah-z)]

I'm not sure I understand. What's the "vedio of the bug"? You want me to make a video record? I'll do it, but I'm not sure how a video will help the bug report.
I can tell you the steps needed to reproduce the bug:
For the Avatar:
1. From global menu, open "Edit" -> "Personal Information";
2. Click on the "gray man" button, browse to an image file and select "Open";
3. You can see that the "gray man" icon is still there, it's not changed.
For the Alias:
1. From global menu, open "Edit" -> "Personal Information";
2. Edit the "Alias" textfield and click "Close" to close the dialog;
3. When opening the "Personal Information" dialog again, you can see that the Alias value has not been updated.
