[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#650874: empathy: does not start

[Amir]

Package: empathy
Version: 3.2.1.1-1
Severity: important

empathy does not start and does not even show an error message (in gui).
when i try to start it from a terminal the output is:

failed to create drawable

(empathy:4529): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter: Unable to
select the newly created GLX context

(empathy:4529): Gdk-WARNING **: The program 'empathy' received an X Window
System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadGC (invalid GC parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 159 error_code 13 request_code 60 minor_code 0)
  (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.)

this error makes it completely unusable.
