Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: empathy
Doing some focused desktop testing on Lucid Desktop 32bit.
I tried creating accounts for Facebook, AIM, Yahoo! and GoogleChat by
running the "Messaging and VOIP accounts" item from the
System/Preferences menu.
The account details screen defaults to "Facebook" not to a blank entry
or an entry saying "Choose Account Type" or something like that...
So I entered Facebook account info, selected Yes to indicate I wanted to
enter other accounts and then hit forward. Instead of getting a message
telling me that my Facebook credentials had been successfuly
authenticated and the account was set up, I was unceremoniously dumped
back to the Account creation page, again showing Facebook as the type.
So, I re-entered account information thinking that I had messed up, or
there was some sort of problem.
I did this several times before I realized that I was not getting any
success message.
empathy-accounts needs to either popup or present a Success or Failure
page when creating accounts to ensure users know that they don't have to
re-enter the same login info again.
Also, the protocol/account type should either be blank at startup or should
show a message like "Choose Chat Account Type" instead of defaulting to
Facebook (the first one in the list in the dropdown for that object)
