           Summary: separate Aliases into "my names for people" and

           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

If you've set an alias for somebody using SetAlias, you can't get the alias
they chose for themselves back again.

When Gabble is asked for an alias, it looks in the roster to see if we've saved
a name for the contact before trying other sources (PEP, vCard, etc). Ideally,
we could cache the latter sources in the roster, but this means that later
updates to those sources are not reflected in the nickname returned by Gabble.
If the concept of local and remote aliases were separate, this caching might be
more reasonable.
