Further information : If I run empathy for the 1st time and tell it to
use the Link-local XMPP feature, other people (on the VPN) show up
immediately on my contact list and "avahi-browse -at" shows the "iChat
service" for both me and other people running empathy on the VPN.
But, after that, if I quit the empathy program and run it again, its
status shows as "Offline" and it never detects the other people on the
local link who have been online since before. Also, "avahi-browse -at"
does not show the "iChat service" for me. It does show "iChat service"
for other people on the VPN.
Same result even if I restart my X session and then start empathy.
However, at this point, if I remove all my config files (with "rm -rf
~/.[^.]*"), kill all running gconf/gnome session related programs (with
"kill $(ps -A xu | grep $USER | grep -v bash | awk '{print $2}')") and
start empathy again, it asks for account configuration to which I tell
it to show nearby people only (link-local). As a result of this, empathy
is able to show my link-local empathy users again.
This makes me suspect that when empathy is restarted (after the
Link-local feature has been enabled in the accounts during a previous
run), it is somehow unable to register with avahi-daemon for link local
advertising which is causing all this trouble.
