idle-connection.c patch

At the moment, if the realname or username parameters aren't specified
then they default to the results of g_get_real_name() and
g_get_username(). This seems an unreasonable default, particularly as
this information can be set by clients if that behaviour is desired.

I've included a tiny patch that just copies priv->nickname and uses
that as a default instead
