Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

The evolution entry that corresponds to data retrieved from LDAP directory should be titled after the displayName attribute if present.

This is the behavoir of Microsoft's Address Book; and, it makes more sense and is more intuitive than to list a random commonName: (cn:.) ( the current behavior. )

dn: cn=jgiuliano,dc=mychevy,dc=com,ou=clients,o=Dealermade
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
displayName: Joseph Giuliano
cn: jgiuliano
gn: Jospeh
sn: Giuliano

Again, in the entry above, `Joseph Giuliano` should be the name that shows up as the title in Evolution, not 'jgiuliano'.
