Comment 45 for bug 253452

Bug still exists in 10.04.
I don't understand why Pidgin was replaced by such a faulty program.
I mean... you can discuss about the design stuff and so on but this is a bug which affects usability of a program which should make Ubuntu "more human" and easier to use.
Compared to Pidgin this is a huge step back.
By the way, file-transfer also doesn't work out of the box.
Now I switched back to Pidgin because I don't want to mess around with such simple things like messengers.
I gave Empathy a chance and it didn't deserve it.
The bug isn't taken serious enough by the developers and distributors since more than one year so why is it still the default messenger?
