empathy opens the import contacts window underneath the accounts window

[DavidBriscoe]

Binary package hint: empathy

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a new partition. The system already had another install of Ubuntu 9.10 (upgraded from 9.04) with Pidgin setup.

During ubuntu install I was asked if I wanted to import my pidgin contacts. I said yes.

When I first opened Empathy (through notification area envelope icon), I was asked if I want to import Pidgin contacts. I said yes. The Contact list opened, but nothing seemed to happen. I clicked Edit > Accounts and saw that I had an account, but I couldn't click Close. Under the Accounts window was an import window. I had to close this window first before I could close the other one.

NOTE: I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 with netbook-launcher and other Ubuntu Netbook Remix UI components installed (Maximo, window-picker-applet...). However, I noticed a similar issue when I first installed 9.10 on my other partition. (I just remember importing my contacts twice.)

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

I face it too before but now under lucid empathy 2.29.5 it seems fixed
