Logged in, the buddies showed up in the list, so far so good. Double clicked on one, started typing and empathy died, the telepathy processes were still alive. Happens exactly when I type a space after a word, doesn't matter what keyboard layout I'm using, doesn't mater which protocol is being used (well I tried both gtalk and yahoo). Tested it on the desktop as well, but both computers are pretty identical, they even have mostly the same packages installed.
