empathy: Error contacting the Account Manager

[Chascon]

Problem:
I've got accounts setup properly, facebook IM and gmail. I know they work because I access the accounts with other IM clients using the same credentials.

Details:
Upon starting empathy I get the following message twice:
"There was an error while trying to connect to the Telepathy Account Manager. The error was:
Process /usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5 exited with status 1"

The message on the roster says: "You need to setup an account to see contacts here."

Observation
I check to see my accounts and they are most certainly there and configured. Apparently, there is a matter of dispute whether I have accounts configured or have them at all.
