In Gwibber 3.4.0 StatusNet seems well implemented.

Replies without adding @login work and add well in the context.

Regarding this specific bug of same nickname in identica or statusnet, 
today if I answer to jbfavre StatusNet account, dent is well posted to 
http://status.jbfavre.org/ - the same if I click on its avatar on 
Gwibber, it loads me in Firefox to its message on his StatusNet 
instance, not on identica.

So it seems to be fixed.

Title:
  Problem if same nickname in identi.ca / status.net

Status in Gwibber:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello,

  On my Identica account I have a problem with some nicknames.

  Identi.ca is the main tool used, but some people have their own
  status.net server.

  And it can happen that 2 different people take same nickname on each.

  For example, I follow http://cb.status.net/ and
  http://status.jbfavre.org/

  I well receive their messages in Gwibber in my identi.ca timeline, no
  problem for that.

  But if I click on cb or jbfavre icon on Gwibber, it loads in default
  browser : http://identi.ca/cb who is not the same person (!), but
  another guy with same pseudo in identica, or for jbfavre
  http://identi.ca/jbfavre which is no more used.

  Same if I select the menu entry on the right "View user profile" in
  Gwibber : it shows me the identica profile, not the status.net one

  Same again for someone who switched months ago from identi.ca to
  statusnet with same username, like http://status.scoffoni.net a reply
  message to @pscoffoni will be sent to identi.ca/pscoffoni which exists
  but is no more active

  To answer to the right person, I have to add its status.net address ie
  : @cb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or @jbfavre@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to make sure it
  gets to the right place.

  But : it takes place (only 140 characters...) and how to know which
  people are concerned ? As in Gwibber I do not see the difference.

  How to manage these "homonyms" in Identi.ca / Status.net ?

  Other related question, in the case there is only a statusnet account
  but no other people with the same identi.ca username, if I send a
  public message / reply to him just by using @ will it been sent to the
  statusnet account or to no one as identi.ca login does not exist ?

  I don't know if it is easily solvable. If you're using the twitter-
  compatible API then each user entry has a statusnet:profile_url
  element which you can use.

  Perhaps Gwibber could use new Status.net AtomPub API :
  http://status.net/wiki/AtomPub ?

  Thanks in advance.
