Interestingly, from looking at the code, I thought I could set my
server name to "jabberserver/resource", and from what I saw in
libEBjabber.c, it would "figure out" that it didn't need to set the
"/everybuddy" bit.
Except that it made me sign in as "users@server/Work/everybuddy"
instead of just "user@server/Work".

Any chance of you (or someone) taking a better look at the Jabber
stuff? I've got zero C-programming skill, but I can certainly provide
an ample test environment, and there's really no GOOD jabber client
for OSX, so Fire is the best thing Jabber users have going for them.
(and since my company is about to lock down AOL/Yahoo out of the
office, and settle on an internal Jabber server, I'm motivated to
"make my Mac work like the rest of them" because I don't want to get
saddled with a windows machine).
