Bug Description
Binary package hint: empathy
Steps to reproduce:
- Log into the guest account
- Try to sign in on Empathy (add a new account)
- You will be prompted to fill in e new password for the Gnome keyring, fill out a password twice
- Skip the "people close by" account creation
- You'll get the error message "There was an error while parsing the account details." (See screenshot for full message.)
Tested this with both MSN and Google Talk/Jabber. Every time you try, you'll notice the account isn't stored, and you will be prompted once again to set a default password for the Gnome keyring.
