Comment 6 for bug 682781

Default.ini is empty here as well (using an unmodified Unity profile).

I can reliably reproduce it (see steps above).

* Start Empathy with the buddy list opened (from the terminal, the launcher bar, or the messages indicator),
* Switch to another workspace,
* Click on the messages indicator > Chat

=> Empathy vanishes from the launcher bar (or gets marked as not running if it was pinned), the buddy list becomes invisible and is on top on all workspaces (blocking windows below it). If I click where the buddy list is supposed to be, the appmenu indicator doesn't show Empathy's menu, but I can quit Empthy via Ctrl-Q, so it has to have the focus somehow.
