Bug Description

Hello,

I've got Ubuntu 12.10 with Empathy 3.5.92.

Every time I start Empathy my jabber accounts report "needs authorization" (vk.com) or "status is set to offline" (gmail.com).
And this is random: sometimes one of them can connect from the first try. But the google account usually reports the error.

After some time they automatically reconnect and work well. But that may take several minutes to get them working.
Pressing the "reconnect" button doesn't help.

I've set up the accounts via the standard Ubuntu Online Accounts manager.

There is no "debug" menu item so I don't know how do I provide any logs or see what's the problem.

BTW, my Sametime account requires some magic all the time: looks like it doesn't store the password. Currently, I have it enabled, but don't see any groups or contacts in Empathy. It complained at first about authorization but then just silently dropped trying the account. And there is no button to force reconnect.

With the latest updates today my vk.com account cannot store the password and Empathy keeps saying "account .. requires authorization". Just before the update it worked.
Empathy 3.6.0 is here.

Well, that's interesting. Now it stores the password, but asks to grant access several times. And then starts to work.

I can also confirm the same issue after moving to 12.10. Empathy is 3.6.0.3 and every time I reboot google talk needs authorization. I added debug logs - i also added my FB account during this session.
