Bug Description
Empaty has automatically re-imported my account from Natty (gmail/jabber).
At startup, it now always displays a notification "<email address hidden> Password required" (idem for gmail).
It connects however successfully to my accounts.
The notification should either be removed or give more details: which password is required, where, etc.

The issue here is that Empathy is checking for notification server capabilities and stripping the action hint (because notify-osd doesn't do notification actions), but it isn't changing the message to compensate. In fixing this, please consider that the functionality is absolutely fine where it is with Gnome Shell, and any fix should be compatible with upstream.
