Comment 7 for bug 1223436

I had troubles connecting again. I ended up upgrading to 0.18.1-1ubuntu2, deleting the offending account and recreating it. I was then able to connect. I then tried to reproduce the error. The only thing that I could get to trigger was if I set the 'Resource' in advanced configuration to 'laptop'. If I removed 'Resource' or changed it to '/laptop', then it worked. I can't recall if I had the '/' before or not.... At this point, I'm probably not going to be able to reproduce the bug since I'm not sure what my previous configuration was. I can say that perhaps it would be reasonable for empathy/telepathy-gabble to prepend a '/' to the Resource if it isn't present.
