[Bug 588856] [NEW] MSN accounts "freeze" on network interruption.

[Perkins]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

When an MSN account is signed on, and the network connection is
interrupted, even very briefly, even by such things as switching from a
wired to a wireless connection, the account completely freezes.  It
receives no further contact updates, it allows no incoming or outgoing
messages, although it will pretend that it is sending them.  Any
contacts who were online at the time of the interruption remain visible,
even if the account in question is deleted.  The only way I have found
to clear the blockage is to delete the account, shut down Empathy, and
then re-add the account.  Needless to say, having to do this every time
there is a *minor* network service interruption of any kind is a serious
annoyance.
