Bug Description
If I add Empathy to 'Startup Applications' to start it with '-h' option, I'll never be able to open the contact list window.
Tried:
- If query with 'ps -ef | grep emapthy', I can see empathy is running.
- If run 'empathy' from command line, the command exits without any output, but nothing happens after that.
- If choose 'Empathy Internet Messaging' from Unity Dashboard, nothing happens.
- If choose from the locked lens, I can see the icon "blinks slowly" (if you know what I mean, I'm not native speaker of English), and then it stops blinking, nothing happens after that.
However, if I didn't start Empathy with '-h' option, everything seems normal.

Just tried start Empathy with 'empathy -h' but without 'Startup Applications', to make sure it is Empathy's bug.
Command 'empathy -h' didn't exit as I thought it would. I'm not sure if this is the expected behavior.
