Bug Description

Binary package hint: empathy

Settings in "Personal Information -> Alias" for a msn account doesn't persist. If you close and restart empathy the old one is restored.

Solution:
1. close empathy
2. start pidgin (or another msn client)
3. change the alias
4. close the other-msn-client
5. launch empathy
6. the alias is set as I did in pidgin

Version: 2.25.2-2ubuntu1~ppa8.10+1

pymsn states it supports content roaming for personal avatar, display name and status message.

The avatar is not synchronized. I could not check the personal message since I now don't have the possibility to run windows live messenger, and the last time I used it I just set my avatar, with a blank personal message.

is this bug still existing in Maverick. I just changed my msn alias and then quit empathy and when I started it again and chatted my new alias was there.

Just to be more precise:

On my desktop I can change the alias, but when I hit "Close", it doesn't save. The alias I'm now stuck with is the one from my mobile device.
