I have noticed this problem occur only on IM's, i'd guess it mostly is Skype related.

What happens is, when i receive an IM on the right hand side in the conversations application where it lists all the messages, there is no name or picture of the contact, just the icon of the protocol(Skype) and the tiny blue man without arms icon.

Sometimes it also doesn't show the messages i have received from my contact when i open the conversation, it just shows my messages although they show up when i open the said contact from the New IM applet but there still is no name or picture attached to them even though i can briefly see them during the start up of the applet when i select the contact name from the New IM applet.

Forgot to say that most of the time i can reproduce this when i have another Skype session on, logged in from my PC as well for an example.

Attached screenshots.

Thanks in advance.
