I'm wondering if this shouldn't instead be handled by the client (e.g. empathy). Because different clients might have different approaches to the problem. Also, if we did automatic nick-changing in the connection manager, we'd need to have some way to communicate back up to the client that "the nick you gave us didn't work, so I used this one instead". That seems like more trouble than just having the client take responsibility for automatically retrying with a modified nick.
