This seems to be an intermittent bug for men. Soon after login, the message list appears to work ok -- click on a contact, it opens a chat window, adds an entry to the notification tray.

Most of the times, the problem occurs after I open the first chat window -- i.e. I start chatting with contact A; soon I need to send a message to contact B, who is online. Clicking on the contact name or drag-and-dropping the contact into an opened chat window does not work.

If contacts A and B started conversations with me and I only answered them in the notification tray, I usually can open the chat window via the notification "bubble" for *only one of the contacts*. Works the first time only, then I can not open any other chat window.

Starting a chat via gnome-contacts works correctly.

Most of the times, the only solution to have the chat windows back is to close all chat windows and the contact list, disconect from all IM accounts, kill mission-control and then start all over again.

Curiously, after I opened the debug window to generate the log, I figured I had regained the ability to open chat windows. Don't think it's related, but 've never seen empathy get back to working correctly...
