Your original bug report is about ICQ specifically, but this bug report appears extremely generic. Please be more specific when this occurs, and with which protocols.

> EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED:

I've never heard of "account-plugin-extras".

I have no influence over the closed Maemo UI.

I changed it to generic as I see this at all protocols I use. SO to be more specific, I use:
Jabber
ICQ
Skype
msn

and this happens on all of them, requests don't show names or nicks but account names or numbers, and the menu shows account-names or numbers as well. The menu is MaemoUI, I guess another bugreport to file at mae but is the auth request not just the same?

maybe its a meta package for all those plugins?

> I have no influence over the closed Maemo UI.

so the info is available through the plugin but the Maemo UI is not using it. Maybe then I was just right starting this bug at maemo?

I don't think this is a 'bug', but something no one thought about. It's just not useful the way it is at the moment, it could be autoaccepting ICQ (from the others I most of the time can tell if I know them or not) auth-requests, at least it wouldn't bugger me (please dont).

telepathy-extras only provides ICQ and MSN, so I will ignore Skype and Jabber.

Actually, I believe you've got this the wrong way round, somehow. I'm informed that the maemo UI *only* shows contact's names, not their jid/icq number/etc. so unless there is something wrong with haze, then you won't *ever* get the, say, ICQ number. Seeing as you're claiming otherwise, it leads me to think there might be something up with haze.

I think this might be a dup of bug #25157, which is specific to ICQ.

I am quiet new at looking into telepathy and didnt find my way around yet.

mmh, this is the same for all IMservices I use, they all show the ID and not the contacts name (to get me right, we are talking about requests and menu-title only, in conversations the text-msg-line does show the contacts name in front of it.)

So if I get it right, the plugin does already do the match and not the maemoUI so all I see is already wrong...?
