The main problem here is that if you are running a desktop oher than what is listed in the "OnlyShowIn" field in the .desktop, gnome-control- center will refuse to display that configuration panel, even if you explicitly ask for it, eg:
> gnome-control-center credentials Instead it will show the top level configuration screen (where the icon is of course absent.) This means it is impossible to configure empathy (and indicator-datetime) without first editing a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications. -- 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?
