Hi there,
With kaddressbook v4.4.8 on KDE v4.4.5 (gentoo): importing googledata entries
via akonadi results in records with emtpty "Display:" field. That's pretty
annoying when exporting to LDIF files, because it results in incomplete
records, where the "cn:" line is missing. 
It would be nice to have a policy option to automatically fill the "Display:"
field with any available information from the "Name:" field.

Cheers,
  ^s

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) add a contact, filling the "Name:" field and leaving empty the "Display:"
field;
2) export it to an LDIF file.

Actual Results:  
The resulting LDIF file has entries lacking the "cn:" line, as well as the
"cn=" field of the "dn:" line.

Expected Results:  
1) The "Display:" field in the new contact is automatically filled with the
"Name:" field's value.
2) The exported LDIF filed has the corresponding "cn:" line.

Not sure if akonadi_googledata is actually buggy, as for the "Display:" field.
