[Bug 667203] [NEW] Gmail shows online contacts but messages are not delivered to me / others do not see me online

[mac.ryan]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

I am using 10.10 and although I presently rolled back to the standard repo, until a few minutes ago I was on the PPA.
(So I am presently running Installed: 2.32.0-0ubuntu2)

Empathy connects to my gmail account and I can see my contact going on
and off line. I can even send messages to them (they receive them
without problems), but their answers (or any messages they send to me,
for what it matters) are never reaching empathy. Instead, I get an
e-mail from g-mail telling me that I got a message from the chat (as it
happens when one is effectively off-line and somebody tries to chat with
him/her).

I am unsure since when this problem is happening (it was a little bit I
was not using empathy). I can surely say that prior to upgrade to
Maverik everything was working fine, though.

Miscellany info on my system that I don't know if could help:
- I have the AWM mail applet checking for new mail on the same account every couple of minutes.
- After upgrading to Maverik, I deleted my .gnome2 and .gnomeconf dirs and re-configured all my applications (so I also re-created the accounts for empathy)
- I have the firewall on (gufw)
