[Bug 886056] [NEW] Cannot respond to friendship requests from Empathy

[Conscious User]

Public bug reported:

When I'm using GTalk in Empathy and someone requests to see my status, I
get a notification bubble but can't do nothing about it. If I happen to
already have the person in my contact list, I can open the list and
click on the name to authorize. But most of the time people will *not*
already have the person in there.

I remember that in previous version of Ubuntu, a request would create an
entry in the Messaging Menu, which would then show a dialog box when you
clicked on it. Not sure if it was the best solution, but at least it was
something. I don't know if this was disabled or broke.
