Bug Description
Binary package hint: empathy
When creating a new jabber account, it is possible to register to the server if the account doesn't exist yet. But it just does not work.
I have to register manually on the website (jabber.fr), then configuring it into empathy, then it works. But before registering manually on the website, even if I check the option "register", it does not : authentication failed.
While it works fine using gajim.

Empathy developers say that they actually wanted to remove the option as it is too buggy.
<sjoerd> Most servers don't even support it
<sjoerd> The only reason we left it in because some people complained last time we wanted to rip it out because it's so crap on all levels
