[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#609828: empathy: killing child processes on quit

[Jan Hetges]

Package: empathy
Version: 2.30.3-1
Severity: wishlist


since some issue with my internet connection two days ago 
empathy showed "Network error" for both google talk and facebook 
chat while they both worked otherwise (web browser and/or pidgin).
tcpdump didn't show any related traffic when clicking "Reconnect". 
mission-control debug output suggested:
request_connection_cb: RequestConnection failed: Name
'org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.gabble.jabber.jan_2ehetges_40chat_2efacebook_2ecom_2f8c6998f0'
already in use by this process.
restarting empathy didn't help. killing telepathy-mission-control-5
didn't help either. what finally did help was killing mission-control,
telepathy-gabbler and telepathy-salut. 
and i think it is generally a good idea to kill all child processes upon quit!
thank you for your consideration.
