Bug Description

Binary package hint: empathy

As title says, if an account fails to connect, I cannot find a way to reattempt to connect to the account. If there is one it is not easy, intuitive or obvious, hence there should be a very easy way to attempt to reconnect to an account. This should be a single click, like pidgin used to do!
