(Get the code!)
Following happens by me with Ubuntu 10.4 with Empathy 2.30.2:
I've noticed that Empathy shows all the time that it's still trying to connect (I have GT, ICQ and MSN accounts running) to one or more of the accounts. So I opened the accounts manager, where you can also see if the connection via this and that protocol has been established (since I hide my offline contacts this is the only 100% sure way to find out; after all it might happen that noone's online and you'll get a false impression that things are actually working). I looked at ICQ and GT - in both a successful connection has been established. With MSN things looked different. The status icon was blinking [connected <-> disconnected] that is - online status and offline status. It seems that Empathy cannot establish connection and is repeatedly trying to reconnect. No error messages at all.
PS: Guys, killing processes and/or deleting files isn't a normal solution. It might "solve" the problem now but sooner or later it'll come back and might be even worse.
