I configured Empathy under Gnome or Unity, and then switched to XFCE (xubuntu-desktop), and lost the ability to access its configuration. I eventually edited /usr/share/applications/gnome-credentials- panel.desktop and added XFCE to "OnlyShowIn". ( http://askubuntu.com/questions/202514/how-can-i-manage-empathy-online- accounts-in-lubuntu-12-10 )
I'm not sure what *should* have happened here. Perhaps either: 1) Empathy starts at login and Empathy's gnome-control-center panel is available, or 2) Empathy does automatically start and the panel is unavailable In other words, it should be neither or both. To be clear, currently (12.10) you get Empathy starting but no access to its configuration. This seems to be a specific instance of a more general problem: between various desktop environments, how can the presence of applications be reconciled with the presence of their gnome-control-center panels? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1067901 Title: can't configure any accounts in empathy Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Accounts can't be configured in empathy in 12.10. I think this is because of the online accounts fork (I have the gnome-shell version of online accounts, but not the ubuntu version). I think maybe I should have both?
