Empathy not registering providers set up using gnome-online-accounts

[Michel Lind]

After setting up my Google account in System Settings -> Online Accounts, and checking that it's enabled for Chat, I started Empathy; on Fedora 16 the Google Talk account is automatically set up but on Ubuntu 11.10 no account is set up by default.

The bizarre thing is, grabbing the matching source using 'apt-get source empathy' and checking the debian/rules file shows that empathy is compiled against libgoa-1.0-dev, but `apt-cache depends empathy | grep goa` shows nothing.

Ubuntu release: 11.10

Package versions:
empathy 3.2.0.1-0ubuntu1.1
libgoa-1.0-0 3.2.1-0ubuntu1

Expected behavior:
Google Talk accounts set up in Online Accounts are automatically picked up by Empathy

Actual behavior:
No such account set up. I verified that goa-daemon *is* running:

$ ps ux | grep goa | grep daemon
michel 2173 0.0 0.6 324140 13748 ? Sl 20:50 0:00 /usr/lib/gnome-online-accounts/goa-daemon

I started having this issue after deleting Empathy's configuration folders, and all goa accounts, to set it up again.
