It is definately reproducable. Specific steps are:
1) log into a default ubuntu installation 2) install "kubuntu-desktop" with all depencies 3) after you restart empathy it uses the QT UI from the package "kde-telepathy-text-ui" that was installed as depency 4) when you uninstall "kde-telepathy-text-ui" everything turns back to normal. I installed "kde-telepathy-text-ui" multiple times as depency of "kubuntu-desktop" and manually and its always the same. when you call your messages through the indicators it uses the "kde-telepathy-text-ui" window and there seems to be no way to set the default. possible solution: use the /etc/alternatives to set a default telepathy UI and add that to the Settings for the default applications. -- 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/951104 Title: kde-telepathy-text-ui hijacks Empathy in Unity Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “ktp-text-ui” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When kubuntu-desktop is installed the KDE Telepathy Programm hijacks the Unity integrated Empathy whithout asking the user so if unity is started Empathy doesnt react anymore like it should. When you open Empathy messages through the indicator of through the launcher icon it either doesnt open any window or it opens the kde- telepathy-text-ui version which doesnt seem to be localized when opened. When i uninstall kde-telepathy-text-ui and relog or restart empathy the issue is resolved but it is very annoying if you want to test multiple Desktops and don't know why your old desktop starts behaving crazy.
