Confirming here. Empathy is using both old and new indicator (look into the messaging menu).

I recently upgraded to 11.10 and Empathy no longer indicates that I have a new chat message except for the bubble popup that stays for just a few seconds. If I miss that bubble, I don't see any indicator but I can see if someone sent me a message by opening the contacts list and looking for blinking icons in that list. Chats used to open up in new windows and I used to see some kind of indicator in the system tray in addition to the bubbles.

Let me know how I can help to get this resolved as it is quite frustrating.

Some have mentioned old and new indicator, maybe there is a way to enable the old indicator so I at least have a way to know that a message has arrived.
