Thanks for taking time to report this bug and make ubuntu better. Can you please quit empathy, remove ~/.config/Empathy ~/.gconf/apps/empathy ~/.mission-control and then reboot and start empathy. This should solve the problem for you. If that does not work can you please install the development release of empathy from the telepathy ppa: https://launchpad.net/~telepathy/+archive/ppahttps://launchpad.net/~telepathy/+archive/ppa

I bought a new disk the other day, reinstalled Ubuntu and configured Empathy from scratch. It works fine now.
