Hi,,
empathy refuses to start.
When I launch it from a terminal, I get:

[jean-luc at tangerine] % empathy                                                ~
The program 'empathy' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 136 error_code 1 request_code 135 minor_code 19)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)


Regards

Jean-Luc
