I'm resurrecting this old thread because I've noticed some undesired
behavior because of this relevancy:

I have most of my contacts organized by name, across protocols (so, for
example, one Pidgin contact contains an AIM account and a Google Talk
account). Since I use Google Talk/XMPP by default, I have each contact have
their Google Talk account at the top, but often when opening a chat with the
contact via Do, it will open their AIM account (even though it only shows
the main contact name).

This is easy to do in Do, but I'd have to go out of my way to do that in
Pidgin. Is it possible there's a bug in Do here? A way of working around
this behavior?
