Don't create new contacts empty (google doesn't allow that) (1.20 KB, patch)

Description Alexander Larsson 2011-09-20 09:31:54 UTC 
The code to add contacts creates an empty contact and then lets you start editing it. This doesn't work for google contacts, because it fails if you create an empty contact.

The quick workaround is to just give the new contact a name that we can easily replace. I'm reusing an old string "Contact Name" to avoid translator issues.

We reuse the "Contact Name" string for full name in order to get some
field set.

This is sort of a workaround. Long term we should probably not create the
folks persona until some fields are added.
