New MSN contacts only found after restarting

[Coops]

Binary package hint: empathy

After adding a MSN account to empathy, requests to accept new contacts only appear after a restart of the application.

During normal use new contact requests don't appear and I have to restart empathy each time someone tells me they've tried adding me.

After restarting I can accept their request - however I still sometimes have to restart empathy a second time for them to see me online and visa versa (similar to bug #665838).

Cheers.

Coops.

This bug is currently blocked for testing (from me at least) by Bug #748535 in Natty.
