Since I reported the bug I switched to Debian + KDE. Still, the one problem of contacts disintegration is a killer bug. The new Linux user won't care why does it happen or how to fix. He will just return to Windows. Even no support for GG in telepathy-haze would be better than the current implementation. Yet it is so easy to fix, it makes me wonder, why there is half-year delay for the first response to appear. If it doesn't work for 11.10, it can be made to work, right? I do not know how the library works, but I think it is pretty easy for the maintainer to fix. I would contact him, but I do not have the authority here.

Current implementation of Gadu Gadu protocol in telepathy-haze is worthless. Why don't you substitute it with working solution? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/telepathy- sunshine This lack of working implementation of Gadu Gadu in default Ubuntu is show stopper for people in Poland. How can I suggest the new OS for them, when such fundamental thing - their favorite IM protocol - is not working? Yea, I know it can transport messages, but without contacts support it doesn't matter. Just kick the GG out of telepathy-haze and pull telepathy-sunshine into dependencies of empathy. I hope this can be done in Natty cycle. Really, in Poland lack of proper GG support destroys value of Ubuntu for new users. Just do it, and the situation will change greatly!
