When I participate in a Sametime meeting, it shows my name as
"CN=Matt Kraai/O=BII" instead of my alias, "Me", which it shows in
one-on-one Sametime conversations.

It appears to be broken in 2.5.4-2.  Here's how I can reproduce the
problem:

 1. Select Matt Kraai (Sametime) -> Edit Account in the Buddy List
    window.
 2. Verify that the Local alias field in the Modify Account dialog
    contains "Me" and press the Cancel button.
 3. Select Buddies -> Join a Chat in the Buddy List window.
 4. Select Matt Kraai (Me) (Sametime) for the Account field, enter
    "Foo" in the Topic field, and press the Join button.
 5. A chat window entitled Foo is created.  In the list of the people
    in the room on the right-hand side of the window, I'm listed as
    "CN=Matt Kraai/O=BII."  If I enter "Bar" in the area at the bottom
    of the window and press Enter, a line displayed in the upper-left
    area says

     (09:01:37 AM) CN=Matt Kraai/O=BII: Bar

I hope it's OK to record this in the BTS.
