Same here. I am running Raring 32bits, upgraded from Quantal. Empathy starts and people see me online: I can receive messages and answer then from the messaging menu, but I can't open the main window with the contact list. I tried replacing "empathy -h" by "empathy --start-hidden" in Startup Applications but the behaviour remains exactly the same. The recent update on Empathy did not change anything.

Tried: - If query with 'ps -ef | grep emapthy', I can see empathy is running. - If run 'empathy' from command line, the command exits without any output, but nothing happens after that. - If choose 'Empathy Internet Messaging' from Unity Dashboard, nothing happens. - If choose from the locked lens, I can see the icon "blinks slowly" (if you know what I mean, I'm not native speaker of English), and then it stops blinking, nothing happens after that. However, if I didn't start Empathy with '-h' option, everything seems normal.
