[gaim-migrate @ 13416] Fix the bug where our screen name would not be shown when sending an IM to someone over protocols where you do not have a server-side alias, and you have not set a self-alias for yourself. This was caused by Sean's commit of a patch which brough conversastion.c to revision 1.644. Anyone know the reason for this change? The commit message was "Todd Troxell removed IM aliases from chat rooms. Unfortunate, but necessary" committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

/* 
   This example demonstrates how to use libgaim-client to communicate
   with gaim.  The names and signatures of functions provided by
   libgaim-client are the same as those in gaim.  However, all
   structures (such as GaimAccount) are opaque, that is, you can only
   use pointer to them.  In fact, these pointers DO NOT actually point
   to anything, they are just integer identifiers of assigned to these
   structures by gaim.  So NEVER try to dereference these pointers.
   Integer ids as disguised as pointers to provide type checking and
   prevent mistakes such as passing an id of GaimAccount when an id of
   GaimBuddy is expected.  According to glib manual, this technique is
   portable.

    account = gaim_accounts_find_any("", "");
    g_print("Alias: %s\n", gaim_account_get_alias(account));
