[Bug 432673] [NEW] Crash when editing account name

[Marcel Miebach]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

I have a fresh Karmic x86_64 installation. 
I added three jabber-accounts in empathy and wanted to edit its names after seeing the standard name was "Neuer Jabber Account" (german user). After the second edit the program freezed and crashed.
