Bug Description

On Ubuntu 13.04 with Empathy 3.6.4-0ubuntu4.1:

What I expected to happen:
After having configured my facebook and google talk accounts in online accounts, i should have logged in facebook to talk with my friends.

What happenned instead :
Everything was fine with my Google Talk account, but Ubuntu/Empathy told me that Ubuntu needed an authorisation I already gave to access my facebook account. So I could not see nor talk with my facebook friends.

Additionnal information:
I have configured my accounts on Pidgin too : it never happened. Pidgin had never lost the authorisation for any of my online accounts. Perhaps there could be a solution with its authentification process?
