Description
With BOSH based implementations, you find yourself left with sessions that "hang around" for a while. In theory browser based apps can just log out, cleaning up the session. However, browsers crash, and the sessions can get "stuck". As a result, you may reconnect and end up having a nickname conflict that you can't get rid of because the old session is still around. What this issue will address is the ability for, if there's a nickname conflict but it's owned by you, allowing you to take over that nickname. (you "kick" the original instance and take it over basically) The original login, if it's a real login, will see a kicked message indicating that they got booted because they logged in from a different location.
