[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#525408: empathy: Not saving password makes account disappear

Package: empathy
Version: 2.26.1-1
Severity: important


While trying to migrate from Pidgin to Empathy I noticed that not saving the
password of a Jabber account makes it disappear.  To reproduce it:

1. Open the "Accounts" dialog/wizard/options/whatever window.
2. Follow the usual procedure to create an account for an exisiting Jabber
   account of yours, but *don't set a password*.
3. Close the "Accounts" window.
4. Open it again.  Voila, the account is gone.

A possibly related effect is Empathy not importing Pidgin accounts that don't
have a stored password.  The account appears in the importable account list,
but the account doesn't get imported.

Thanks,
