+ Jabber groupchat specific. This setting ensures that the nicks defined by the other members of a groupchat are used, instead of the username part of their JID. This only applies to groupchats where their real JID is known (either "non-anonymous" ones, or "semi-anonymous" from the point of view of the channel moderators)

+ <para>
+ Enabling this may have the side effect of changing the nick of existing contacts, either in your buddy list or in other groupchats. If a contact is in multiple groupchats with different nicks, enabling this setting for all those would result in multiple nick changes when joining, and the order of those changes may vary.
