[Bug 270189] [NEW] empathy segfaults with dbus-glib-error-quark code 19 when opening conversation window

[kbit]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

Empathy 0.22.1 on ubuntu hardy.1

This is probably not reproducible for you. For me, it is though:

1) Run empathy
2) Double click my online friend Fabritia in the buddy list

expected:
» a chat window opens, so we can send each other text messages

actual result:
» the chat window is visible shortly, then empathy disappears.

The console output is as follows:

----------------

~$ empathy

** (empathy:12336): WARNING **: GetInterfaces for channel failed: Method "GetInterfaces" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel" doesn't exist
 (dbus-glib-error-quark code 19)
Segmentation fault
~$ 
----------------

When I start empathy again and try to talk to Fabritia, the same thing
happens again. (Now reproduced 5 times in a row and continuing.)

I can open message windows to all of my other friends without problems. 
I can also open the "recent conversations" window for Fabritia without a crash.
The account type is MSN/Win Live.
Fabritia's status is DnD/Occupied.
The above warning (empathy:12336) seems to be bound to the error, since it always appears immediately before the "dbus-glib-error-quark code 19" crash + segfault. The warning does not appear when opening chat windows for any other online friends on my contact list.

Selecting "invite into chat room" from Fabritia's context menu does not
do anything.

(since I'm running a German localized version, all (menu entry etc.)
names are guessed and might be wrong)
