Public bug reported: This problem happens in two computers, whether I use auto-login or not, with Ubuntu 12.10. I configured two accounts on the Online Accounts window: Facebook and Google.
My Facebook contacts always appear on Empathy, but gTalk contacts almost never appear, with the error message "status is set to offline" appearing in red at the top of Empathy's main window. I have to restart Empathy several times until I get lucky and it shows my gTalk contacts. I also try setting my status to Online in various ways: through the Unity Panel, through Empathy's main-window 'Go Online' button, and through Empathy's main-window dropdown box. The symptoms are the same no matter what I do.
