Funny, because the kopete guys wanted to distinguish between twin devices too. 
But that's mainly for the multi-seats case, you might run into the same 
problem I guess.

Now, you're getting me curious. :-)
What's the problem with the initial ordering? I lack background and context 
here. Sorry if I'm wasting some of your time, but collecting such usecases is 
of course interesting for me (as I said post-4.0 I'd like to go toward better 
identitiers).
