Long timestamps on every facebook message

[Matthew Pirocchi]

Binary package hint: empathy

In Ubuntu 10.10, there are extremely long timestamps on every message sent. This is very annoying/distracting, taking up almost half of the available space. See attached screenshot for example. This is a regression from 10.04. I think in 10.04 there was only a timestamp at the beginning of each conversation, but I don't remember precisely.

It could be that this is a facebook-only problem. IRC, at least, just shows HH:MM.
