Yes, that's a valid point. But I don't really like when I click on "Standa 
Živný" and then see that I am talking to "puk". I don't care he is called 
"puk" on ICQ. 
I have my friend associated with his name and I don't want to sometimes it and 
sometimes his ICQ nickname. If I wanted him to show as "puk" I would have 
named the metacontact so.

Nick completion can be fixed, that's not a valid argument here.

And since you can't make other clients use your metacontact names, the option 
that everything has to use metacontac names is not a valid one either. So by 
your reasoning nothing can. Not even Kopete. Remove metacontacts then. :-))

Ok, here's my take at this... use metacontact names on single chats, contact 
in group chats. And I don't give a damn about group chats so I would be 
satisfied. :-)))

Or make it an option. I don't really care but I want to see as little nicks as 
possible in my Kopete. 

Cheers,
Láďa
