[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#655734: Empathy does not show online contacts in MSN

[Jimmy Axenhus]

Dear Maintainer,

Some more information:

This bug appears to be related to the user interface of Empathy.

When I open up Empathy on Gnome 3 for the first time my MSN contacts
appear offline. Note that only my MSN contacts appear offline. In
gnome-contacts however they will have their correct status and show as
online. Now If I exit Empathy and open it up again, while still being
logged in according to the Gnome 3 user menu, it will show MSN contacts
as online.

Now I switch desktop to Gnome 3 fallback and open up Empathy. My MSN
contacts are showing as offline. After exiting Empathy and opening it
again the contacts are still offline even though gnome-contacts are
showing them as online.
