Bug Description
Binary package hint: empathy
Today I upgrade from Kubuntu 9.10 to 10.4. After rebooting, empathy started up automatically, but popped up blank, didn't launch the gnome keyring and did not have any accounts information. I added the accounts manually, but none of my chat history from before the upgrade is available.
my dpkg.log says that empathy was upgraded from 2.28.1.1-0ubuntu1 to 2.30.1-0ubuntu1
This is similar to Bug #469286 but my accounts stay after recreating them. Also similar to Bug #557665, but I don't think Pidgin has anything to do with this bug.

This affects me as well. All the information is in ~/mission- control/ accounts/ accounts. cfg but it isn't coming up in Empathy.
Some irc accounts are coming up, but I'm guessing that is because they were in .config/ Empathy/ irc-networks. xml
