[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#728490: empathy: Avatar hard to set from webcam

[Riccardo Boninsegna]

Package: empathy
Version: 3.8.4-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

* Using GNOME 3, open Empathy [on a user profile that never used it, the window
prompting to configure local network chatting pops up. Complete it] and end up
at the "Messaging and VoIP Accounts" window.
* Click on the [unset] profile photo, and in the file picker sheet click the
webcam button. It is replaced by a camera output sheet.
* Click the button to take a photo. The sheet disappears and the accounts
window appears unresponsive.
** Pressing esc at this point flashes the animation of a sheet closing and gets
Empathy running again.
* The sheet with the crop-or-cancel controls was actually created behind the
Accounts window, and being a sheet it automatically follows its parent.
Dragging the accounts window outside the corners of the desktop partially
uncovers the affected area (but surely requires creative thinking!).
