[Bug 492758] [NEW] Starting Empathy from panel freezes ubuntu - cold restart needed

[Dejan]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

Hi,

I am using Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 with latest updates, compiz on Lenovo R61
with Ati Radeon x1400. On the top panel i have Icon from which I can
start Empathy or Evolution. When I click to start empathy, whole system
freezes. Numlock starts to blink and then I can only power down the
laptop.

How come chat software can freeze kernel? I was looking through
/var/log/messages and there is nothing strange there before freeze. But
there was garbage in one line (probably from power down).

Thanks
