I upgraded from 12.04, the distribution had NOT been updated in 219 days because it was loaded as beta, and as part of troubleshooting on a laptop that was in the process of hardware failure... once updated, and on 12.10, after a few days of tweaking, I decided to go ahead and set it up, I see two "online accounts" in the settings area, and I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it. it goes offline for me after about 30-45 seconds... and I have tried deleting the google account and re initializing etc...

I configured two accounts on the Online Accounts window: Facebook and Google. My Facebook contacts always appear on Empathy, but gTalk contacts almost never appear, with the error message "status is set to offline" appearing in red at the top of Empathy's main window. I have to restart Empathy several times until I get lucky and it shows my gTalk contacts. I also try setting my status to Online in various ways: through the Unity Panel, through Empathy's main-window 'Go Online' button, and through Empathy's main-window dropdown box. The symptoms are the same no matter what I do.
