[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 325373] Re: GNOME Do lacks a plugin for Empathy

[Eric Work]

Xavier,

I've been testing your Empathy gnome-do plugin on Fedora 13 and I am
seeing the following problem, which is preventing gnome-do from getting
a list of contacts.  I tried to look into this problem my self and there
seems to be some problem getting the data back from ListChannels() for a
telepathy account.

[Debug 17:39:10.807] [EmpathyContactItemSource] Contacts.UpdateItems
[Error 17:39:10.838] [EmpathyContactItemSource] Could not get Empathy contacts: Read pos 544 != ep 540

Package versions:
ndesk-dbus = 0.6.1b
empathy = 2.30.3
telepathy-mission-control = 5.4.3
gnome-do = 0.8.3.1

@Tom Robinson

To build Empathy.dll do the following:

1. bzr branch lp:~xavier-calland/do-plugins/empathy
2. open empathy/Empathy/Empathy.mdp in monodevelop
3. Menu Build => Build All
4. Result is in empathy/Empathy/bin/Debug
5. Open gnome-do plugin preferences and drag-n-drop the two DLLs.
