Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the stable
release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test
with it so we can work on getting it fixed. You can find out more about
the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again
and we appreciate your help.

Title:
  XML entities in usernames are inconsistently escaped

Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  When a contact uses characters outside the ASCII range, they appear as
  their escaped XML entities throughout most parts of the UI, including:
  the contact list, the title bar, the tab. But inside the chat window,
  it appears as the intended characters.

  In this case, the user's name is "大神", and the corresponding XML
  character entity references are "&#x5927;&#x795E;".
