Public bug reported: I have seen some other people reporting a similar bug (e.g. #753820) with similar issues, but not sure if the causes are the same. Might be a duplicate in the end.
Situation: I was using Empathy with this jabber account for some time now, everything worked fine. Until one day it simply stopped working - that day no updates have been made or system changes. Empathy simply can't connect to the account, giving an error "No reason specified". Other clients connect correctly. I have attached mission-control and gabble (jabber) logs for convenience. I did some research and experiments regarding this bug, as I am able to temporarily remove it. It seems the problem might be related to mission-control-5. After removal of the .mission-control directory, killing the mission-control-5 process, and inputting account data anew, Empathy connects with no problems. Disconnecting and connecting works correctly. The problem re-appears whenever Empathy is restarted. No changes seem to happen in .mission-control/ between the working and not working versions (diff -urN returns nothing). Reinstall of empathy by itself doesn't help.
