Public bug reported: Binary package hint: empathy
I have Empathy hooked up to an MSN account, which uses telepathy-butterfly. My password for that account is in Gnome Keyring's password store like this: account: butterfly/msn/[$LOGINNAME]; param: param-password If that stored password is missing, the account completely vanishes from Empathy's Accounts list. It does not seem to disappear from ~/.mission- control/accounts/accounts.cfg. This does not happen with any other protocols. (Normally, Empathy will just recognise it needs a password for an account). I recently switched my default keyring from Default to Login, which triggered the issue. This can cause data loss (in a practical sense), since the conversation logs for that vanished account are no longer available from Empathy's interface. Steps to reproduce: * Add a telepathy-butterfly account in Empathy * Quit Empathy, make sure telepathy-* and mission-control are not running. (Probably not necessary, but just to be sure). * Open Seahorse. Search for a password with “account: butterfly/msn” in the description and delete it. * Log out and log in, again just to be sure. * Start Empathy. Note that the MSN account is missing.
