            Bug ID: 311487
          Severity: wishlist

           Summary: RFE: Allow custom aliases for XMPP Chat rooms
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: david.alston at gmail.com
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: contactlist
           Product: telepathy

There is a public chat room I like to log into (on muc.appriss.com - for NOAA
weather reports by region).  I don't have a problem logging in via my google
talk account, but I would like to change my alias that others in the room see.

When I join the chat room with pidgin I am able to specify an alias and the
XMPP Spec for multiuser-chat-rooms seems to support alternate nicknames for use
within a chat room.. (http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to join a chat room
2. Look for a setting to change your nickname for that chat session
Actual Results:  
no setting for changing nickname for chat session found

Expected Results:  
ability to change the nickname for at least the duration of that chat session

It'd also be nice to be able to save the chat room settings with a specific
nickname.. but that might be another bug/feature request.
