Neighborhood view is sometimes greyed out or owner buddy is missing

[satellit]

Fedora-14-RC1-i686-SB-Live-SoaS.iso Booted as a CD loses the Central Avitar in the F1 Network Neighborhood (Telepathy-gabble) and then the whole field greys out after running a period of time (5-6 minutes?)

Attached patch fixes at least XO disappearing on F1 view.

[alsroot]

"grey" issue might relate to unhandled exceptions (got the same grey F1 on one of exceptions during debugging). After applying patch didn't reproduce it for 10h. Though got duplicates for several bodies (online users on jabber.sl.o is less then bodies on F1), that might relate to the patch.

[alsroot]

Use case with doubled bodies in F1 view was described in #2534

Patch works for me. Nice work!

Wrong component? Not send to devel for review like other patches?

[erikos]

#2805 and #2806 closed as dupes,  http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10671 has some more info as well.

[pbrobinson]

Patch also doesn't apply clearly to current head or 0.92.x. Can someone please update it and submit it to sugar-devel for review.

[pbrobinson]

Updated patch to apply against 0.92.1

[pbrobinson]

This patch needs more work. It duplicates the avatar on the network screen and changes its colour, its been referred to as "Disco mode"

sugar-log Trisquel 4.5.1-sugar (0.88.1) -from shell log

"Ceibal" buddy icons jumping around on f1 neighborhood view and changing names/colors
0n 0.88.1 (this record) the buddy icons flash on and off changing positions/colors and sometimes names but do not fill up f1 screen.
on 0.92.1 all old avitars (buddys) are retained and fill up the f1 screen eventually

 http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2845 is related? via patch mentioned here.
See the screen shot attached there.
in 0.92.1 sugar in latest nightly compose I am seeing avitars from testing I did 4 days ago and have since closed down. Many of the avitars have names of form :xxxxxxxx@jabber....
At the moment any live CD of f15-16 fills up with about 120+ avitars. While the 0.88.1 sugar and jabber show the number as much smaller (about 20)
The patch may no longer be needed as alsroot fixed the cause of the problem "some people use the same jids from several IPs at the same time, thus all some one was kicking his alter ego"
