Bug Description

Binary package hint: empathy

This is similar or related to #532446.

After rebooting Empathy empathy will not connect or allow me to set my status to anything (I cannot set it to Available and I cannot set it to offline). Also I cannot set my status via the Indicator Applet. If I click on "Accounts" in empathy it prompts me with the initial account setup wizard. If I select connect to people nearby or whatever the option is and then select don't set this up at this time on the next page I believe this resolves the issue and loads my preexisting accounts thus allowing me to set my status to Available (or other).
