Bug Description

The message-indicator widget always shows something called "empathy.desktop", even though I do not have empathy installed (I believe I did at one time, as I accidentally managed to install a bunch of gnome dependencies). This does not effect performance in any way, it simply looks bad. See the screenshot for clarity.

I have tried looking for anything called "empathy" or "empathy.desktop" in dolphin, to no avail. I am assuming that there is some configuration file somewhere that is telling the indicator to write this, but I am guessing.

Three notes:
1. My wife also receives this message. She has a separate login.
2. If I delete the message indicator and then re-enable it, the erroneous message ("empathy.desktop") goes away. However, it returns again upon a fresh login.
3. There is a similar problem on my netbook, but it says something about ubuntuone. They are both gtk things, AFAIK.

As always, thanks for the hard work!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
login. Or, remove widget, re-enable widget, and then logout and login again.

Actual Results:
receive erroneous "empathy.desktop" in message-indicator

Expected Results:
no weird message
