Distribution: Debian testing/unstable
Package: gossip
Severity: Normal
Version: GNOME2.12.3 0.10.x
Gnome-Distributor: Debian
Synopsis: Erroneous XML file of logs
Bugzilla-Product: gossip
Bugzilla-Component: General
Bugzilla-Version: 0.10.x
Description:
Description of Problem:
The names of the contacts are not properly escaped before embedding
within XML files of logs. In my case, I abbreviated the name of a friend
into s\xE9v', where the apostrophe conflicts the quote used in the xml
file.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. add (or rename) a contact with a nickname containing some '
2. receive a message from this contact
3. ask to see the log file

Actual Results:
These error messages (with blob instead of private and irrelevant
information; I did not realign the ^ but the first 3 indicates the ends
of lines, the last one the beginning):

Expected Results:

How often does this happen?
