Bug Description

When re-connecting to Google Talk, empathy reports that the Google Talk certificate is self-signed. Surprisingly this doesn't happen when you first set up the connection.

Also - if I check "Remember this choice" and click "Continue", this dialog will still come up the next time I go online.

Its always reproduceable.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open IM messaging accounts and add a google talk account. I've tried both a gmail account and a Google Apps account and they behave the same.
2. Close the configuration dialog
3. Start empathy.

The result is "self signed" dialog box as is shown in the following screenshot
