Bug Description
Binary package hint: empathy
Using Lucid.
Indicator bubbles displays the contents of incoming chat messages however clicking on the contacts name in the indicator applet does not raise the chat window.
Clicking the contacts name (or any other contact) in the contact list also fails to open the chat window.
Gnome window list applet does not show the chat windows.
Docky does show the chat window in its list of empathy windows but selecting it does not raise it.
Get out of this situation I
quit empathy,
delete the "~/.config/
restart empathy.
Things return to normal until a few days later when it happens again.
I havnt figured out what the cause is.
What information can i provide to help diagnose this?
I am not able to reproduce this problem now, but it has happened to me twice this week.
