Unfortunately, being able to relocate home directories is very typical on *nix systems from my experience. The best possible case would be to somehow search /etc/passwd for home directories and only allow it to run out of those on a per-user basis. This isn't necessarily relevant to Empathy or Telepathy, rather a Ubuntu/apparmor design issue.
After even further digging, it appears that instead of editing /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home as I did, the correct way of handling this is to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure apparmor" which will prompt you for additional home directory locations. Those get added to /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home.d/ubuntu (which says it's automatically generated and therefore shouldn't be edited directly). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994926 Title: empathy accounts not stored Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: Incomplete Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Every time I login to the desktop and I open Empathy, I am asked to enter the account details for Facebook, MSN and Gmail and even local network chat.
