empathy crashed with SIGSEGV in g_main_context_dispatch()

[Computer Technician]

Binary package hint: empathy

Empathy crashed whenever I attempted to access the User Name Login drop down menu item, "Chat Accounts...", applet from the Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) build date 20100207 with the 2.6.32-12 kernel. I had previously opened Empathy IM Client and logged into my jabber account prior to executing the applet menu item. Restarting the program and then following the steps of using the "Chat Accounts..." menu option did not resolve the problem. Closing all Empathy related processes and then selecting the option did not resolve the problem.

1) Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
    Release: 10.04

2) Synaptic 0.62.5

3) I expected the "Chat Accounts..." option to open my default IM client.

4) The program consistently crashes.
