Drops incoming messages after conversation timeout

[William Grant]

Binary package hint: telepathy-butterfly

If a conversation is left idle for a minute or two, the server will time it
out. If the remote end sends a message, a new conversation will be established.
papyon sees the reestablishment and subsequent messages, but any messages after
the reestablishment never get forwarded through to Empathy. If the conversation
is instead reestablished from the local end, messages can travel in both
directions without a problem.

To reproduce on one machine:
 1) Connect to one MSN account with Pidgin.
 2) Connect to another MSN account with Empathy.
 3) Start a conversation from Pidgin.
 4) Have a conversation.
 5) Say nothing for a minute or two until the switchboard disconnect.
 6) Send a message from Pidgin.
 7) Notice that Empathy has not seen the message.

I reported this upstream with a patch which I've been using for three weeks now. It was a week or so ago adapted and merged by upstream (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wgrant/telepathy-butterfly/master/revision/227). It would be great to have this patch in Lucid.

Thanks a lot for the report and detailed analysis, I managed to reproduce the bug easily thanks to your instructions and extended your patch to make it more complete.

+ self._conversation= conversation
+ papyon.event.ConversationEventInterface.__init__(self, self._conversation)

Add a space before *and* after the equals sign, and remove the extra newline, and get mergin'.
