Now we're there. With current empathy and gnome-shell in experimental, there is no tray icon and thus no way to click-open the buddy list. What's worse, there is in fact no way to open it at all. Neither clicking on some empathy icon, nor starting empathy from gnome-do does anything. I'm not able to access the buddy list. "Starting" empathy from a shell shows: ,---- | ?0 jhr@ca:~ (sid) 8:11:17 $ empathy | | ** (empathy:4316): WARNING **: Metadata for error domain"geoclue-error-quark" already registered | | ?0 jhr@ca:~ (sid) 8:11:21 $ `---- Hauke -- .''`.
