That 'foobar' portion (or the long number in the other session you had)
is called the 'XMPP resource'. Generally this is custom definable.

In PSI you can change this under Menu General -> Account Setup -> select
the account, hit Modify => Misc

Then unselect the "Use hostname as a resource" option and enter
something gibberish.

In XMPP this 'resource', along with it's priority, allows message
routing to work when one is logged in multiple times.
