Empathy won't show contacts for Facebook, AIM.

[Alexander T. Stanton]

Impact: empathy can't connect to facebook

Test Case:
run empathy
add a facebook account
go online
check that your contacts are listed (or that your account is online in "empathy-accounts")

Regression potential:
Check that your other accounts still connect/work correctly

---------------

even though all my accounts are turned on in the Online accounts manager, empathy won't connect me to my aim or facebook chat account. This bug occurs on both of my computers. I don't know what else to do.
