Hi,

I had the same issue, and I figured out how to do change the handler (Ubuntu 12.10).

Edit /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.KTp.TextUi.service to comment out (or remove) the link to ktp-text-ui and use Empathy instead.

In the end, the service file will look like this:

    [D-BUS Service]
    Name=org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.KTp.TextUi
    # Exec=/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/ktp-text-ui
    Exec=/usr/lib/empathy/empathy-chat

After this, I figured I had to restart dbus, but doing a "sudo service dbus restart" is evidently a bad idea, since it locks up everything.

So I suppose you have to log out and log back in (or reboot, which is what I ended up having to do).
