[Bug 528474] Re: empathy crashed with SIGSEGV in tp_proxy_get_object_path()

[John M]

With the newest empathy I don't get the crash.  It seems that it was one
of GNOME's usual upgrade inconsistencies.  Not sure if the following is
still relevant:

Before upgrade, I deleted everything GNOME-related, in my home directory, except for the following:
$XDG_*_HOME/telepathy
$XDG_*_HOME/Empathy
~/.gconf/apps/empathy
~/.gconf/apps/nautilus_actions
~/.gnome2/gedit
~/.gnome2/keyring
~/.gnome2/accelsgedit     (file)
~/.gnome2/gedit-2     (file)
~/.gnome2/gedit-metadata.xml     (file)
~/.gnome2/Vim     (file)
~/.mission-control
~/.gtk-bookmarks     (file)
~/.viminfo     (file)
~.vimrc     (file)

(I deleted any other directories/files not related to GNOME, except the
following: $XDG_*_HOME/exaile, ~/.beagle, ~/.filezilla, ~/.mozilla,
~/.opera, ~/.Skype, ~/.ssh, ~/.thunderbird, ~/.VirtualBox, ~/.xine,
~/.bash*, ~/.pam_environment, ~/.profile)

I did a clean install on the / partition (my /home partition is
separate).  After the install, empathy worked, except that it always
crashed whenever I tried to access the history of conversations.  But
after yesterday's update, I can no longer reproduce the crash.
