You're making this much more complex than it needs to be. When first introduced to a buddy, you store his key and name (as given) as immutable, and color/nick/avatar as mutable. We must never depend on just color/nick/avatar in the UI to identify people; their name, as we have it stored, must always be displayed alongside their mutable identifier. If you're IMing with someone who has Bob's picture but the displayed name is Alice, you'll know something's wrong. This is the design we've discussed from the beginning. -- Ivan Krstić <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GPG: 0x147C722D _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/sugar
