           Summary: Allow specifying login independently of JID in
                    Advanced Settings
           Product: telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-telepathy at kde.org
        ReportedBy: greve at fsfe.org


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

In many cases, the XMPP / Jabber ID will *not* be identical to the login used
for authentication. Sometimes it will be only the user part, sometimes it will
be in a different sub-domain, sometimes it will be entirely different.

Right now there is no way to specify the login independently of the JID.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Take any jabber server where login = user part of JID without domain.

When specifying the login as the JID, network errors occur (apparently there is
still some resolution of the -- in that case not existing -- domain part going
on despite there having been a server address explicitly specified). When
providing the JID, the login fails, as the correct server is contacted with the
correct password, but an incorrect login.



Expected Results:  
Telepathy should allow to specify user name along with host as Advanced
Setting, so that it can connect to such services.
