Hi,
I had the same issue, and I figured out how to do change the handler
(Ubuntu 12.10).
Edit
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.KTp.TextUi.service
to comment out (or remove) the link to ktp-text-ui and use Empathy
instead.
In the end, the service file will look like this:
[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.KTp.TextUi
# Exec=/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/ktp-text-ui
Exec=/usr/lib/empathy/empathy-chat
After this, I figured I had to restart dbus, but doing a "sudo service
dbus restart" is evidently a bad idea, since it locks up everything.
So I suppose you have to log out and log back in (or reboot, which is
what I ended up having to do).

Title:
kde-telepathy-text-ui hijacks Empathy in Unity
Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “ktp-text-ui” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When kubuntu-desktop is installed the KDE Telepathy Programm hijacks
the Unity integrated Empathy whithout asking the user so if unity is
started Empathy doesnt react anymore like it should.
When you open Empathy messages through the indicator of through the
launcher icon it either doesnt open any window or it opens the kde-
telepathy-text-ui version which doesnt seem to be localized when
opened.
When i uninstall kde-telepathy-text-ui and relog or restart empathy
the issue is resolved but it is very annoying if you want to test
multiple Desktops and don't know why your old desktop starts behaving
crazy.
