An update on this for karmic.

I've done quite a bit of hacking around the last couple of days to try
and get things working.

It seems the problem is the interaction between empathy, telepathy and
the gnome keyrings.

Things worked fine for me when I set up a fresh account.

I then observed that my own account had two keyrings and wondered if
that was the issue.   Lots of hacking around, removing keyrings,
.mission-control etc followed.

Eventually, I just deleted the lot and got a working system.

On  my netbook I was also having problems.   Deleting the existing
jabber account and re-creating worked, but only when I chose "use
existing account"  as opposed to "create new".

I'm afraid up to now I haven't been able to create an easily
reproducible way of generating the bug, but figured this report might a.
help others get empathy working and b. point a developer in the right
direction.
