Unable to use Empathy in guest account

[Alwin Garside]

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.
