Just had the same crash on Lucid, when double clicking on a contact to open a chat window.
After the crash, no new windows want to open, even after restarting empathy.

[Ben Selinger (blistovmhz)]

Same issue with a few notes.
1. This happened after running some updates this morning.. Unfortunately, I don't know which ones.
2. When this happened, I closed empathy and restarted. I got the same result as Ian Corne.
3. After rebooting, empathy was no longer installed, and I couldn't reinstall due to conflicts with nautilus-sendto-empathy.
4. I did an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, and then apt-get install empathy. This solved the problem.
