Thanks for your bug report and helping to make Ubuntu better. It would be nice if you could send this issue upstream so the developers of the software can look at it. Please follow the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. and make sure to link that bug report here.

upstreamed. also is it a 100% reproduce able bug or a one time issue?

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

actually seems more like a telepathy-logger issue

[Brian Curtis (bcurtiswx)]

Is telepathy logger installed? Maybe it's looking for it and it can't find it? There's a bug about not having telepathy logger installed, could be related?

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

Indeed. Upstream comment says: "You have to install telepathy-logger 0.1.5"
