Public bug reported:
If ~/.mission-control/accounts/accounts.cfg is a symlink (either itself
or any component of that path) empathy will prompt for account details
on every run, showing no accounts registered. Manually adding accounts
causes empathy to function for the remainder of the session. When
logging out & in again, empathy shows no accounts and prompts to add
some.
I previously used empathy on Ubuntu 11.04 without issue with ~/.mission-
control being a symlink to another directory (on the same filesystem, so
it is always available).
mission-control probably shouldn't care if a file or directory is a
symlink or not.
