Can you please start a terminal and do sudo apt-get update ;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Doing this will update you empathy version and should solve the problem. If the problem still exists after doing the above command please let us know.

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

The update would probably work... I was running that on a 9.10 Live CD...
anyway, thanks for checking...
