Bug 14751

I'm wondering if this shouldn't instead be handled by the client (e.g. empathy).  Because different clients might have different approaches to the problem.  Also, if we did automatic nick-changing in the connection manager, we'd need to have some way to communicate back up to the client that "the nick you gave us didn't work, so I used this one instead".  That seems like more trouble than just having the client take responsibility for automatically retrying with a modified nick.

Test review comment for splinter: g_strdup_printf is awesome :)

does this patch still apply?
