[Bug 640018] Re: empathy throws untrusted certificate warning on google chat services using google apps (non-google domains)

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: empathy
  
  On Ubuntu 10.10, Empathy will throw an 'untrusted certificate, proceed?'
  warning during log-on for the Google Chat service when the user is using
  Google Apps and not a standard gmail.com / googlemail.com / google.com
  email address.
  
  As an example, my Google Chat address uses Google Apps (google services
  through personally owned domains) and is david at justsomeboy.com, and
- empathy expects the certificate hostname to match the google domain and
- not justsomeboy.com
+ empathy expects the certificate hostname to match the 'justsomeboy.com'
+ domain and not the google domain.
  
  The error thrown is:
  
  This connection is untrusted. Would you like to continue anyway?
  
  The identity provided by the chat server cannot be verified. The
  hostname verified by the certificate doesn't match the server name.
  
  Expected hostname: justsomeboy.com
  Certificate hostname: talk.google.com
  
  This is a recent change, earlier Maverick builds didn't throw this
  message. As there is no way on the Google Apps service to include
  certificates, this trusting check potentially should be disabled for the
  Google Chat service.
