The lineedit has a "Placeholder Text" that at the moment shows "Displayed Name", so that's what the user \
will see when he adds a new account, then yes, the text will appear letter by letter. The placeholder \
also appears if the string is empty. Moreover if the user leaves it empty he will receive an error. When \
the account is added, whatever the user chose is shown in the main window.
You cannot set the text "You're about to create a jabber account", because the same widget is used both \
for creating and editing the account
In my opinion it must be clear to the user that the display name does _not_ belong to the form below, \
since is a personal preference and not a parameter to connect to the account (that's why I used the \
frame). Moreover, the org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Account interface supports setting the icon property, so \
in the future we could let the user choose the icon or do something like kopete that lets you choose the \
colour of the icon, useful to distingush when you have several accounts using the same protocol (i.e. \
jabber).
Anyway, I'd leave the UI fixing for later (and possibly to someone else, since I really suck at that) and \
focus this review on the "core" of the display name stuff.

and let each plugin generate a "default" display name, based on the parameters \
set.
- Default name is used if display name is empty or if it is the previous default name.
- If the current display name _contains_ the old default display name, only the default part is replaced. \
For example, if old default name is foo@bar.com and the display name is Foo <foo@bar.com> when the \
user changes something and the new default display name is foo@buz.com, the new display name becomes Foo \
<foo@buz.com> (This happens realtime while the user is typing)
- Otherwise the user set display name is just left unchanged.
Also all the plugins were updated. For accounts without a specific plugin, the display name is set \
automatically using the "account" parameter if it exists. If it does not exist the user will \
have to add it manually, but this doesn't seem a big issue to me...
