Empathy problem

[ogupower]

I have a problem with the plugin "empathy": the plugin is activated but the contacts are not recognized, also the first time you activated the plugin, Kupfer hangs and does not take the keys that are pressed!I have Ubuntu 11.04 with empathy 2.34

Confirming in Ubuntu 11.04 with Kupfer version 0+v206-0ubuntu0~mav~kupferhope (from PPA).

I get the same error as in bug 593314, comment 3:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/kupfer/+bug/593314/comments/3

The workaround in comment 11, exiting empathy before enabling the plugin, works. I get the list of contacts, but Kupfer becomes unresponsive:
D [kupfer.plugin.empathy] ContactsSource: Warning(?): merged in 25.0535149574 seconds

However, after restarting Kupfer, I get the following exception:

Adding some try/except works to me.

But need to be reimplemented using async calls or python-telepathy.
