[Bug 433714] [NEW] initial empathy account wizard does not offer IRC as an account

[Tim Potter]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

In both alpha 5 and alpha 6, when starting the empathy IM client, the
wizard that starts gives a list of accounts available to create.  In
this list, IRC is missing.  I've seen this both on the live environment
and a clean install.

The workaround is to exit and go to Edit -> Accounts (F4) and Add an
account.  IRC is listed in this location.

A new user that installs Karmic, may want to get to IRC #ubuntu channel,
and this gives the initial perception that they cannot accomplish this.
