[Bug 473662] [NEW] Empathy will not save Alias names for Yahoo account.

[robert4380]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

In Empathy, when going into Edit >> Personal Information, the program
refuses to save any alias that I set for my Yahoo account.  The alias
listed is always the same as my account ID.  For example, if my Yahoo ID
is robert1234, and I want to set my alias as "Bob," Empathy will not let
me do this.  Overall, I think that Pidgin is a much better IM client.
I'm also not a fan at all of the "set status" options in the main Ubuntu
task bar that interface with Empathy or other IM clients.
