empathy doesn't appear to reconnect after VPN disconnection

[Damien Mead-Smith]

Binary package hint: empathy

Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 Beta2 (updated as of Mon 19th April 2010 ~10:00am). When connecting to or disconnecting from a VPN (mine uses the remote server as default route) the empathy connection is lost , though the task bar doesn't report this and the status remains as online. This happens even in mid-conversation.
