[Bug 1020473] [NEW] Empathy cannot open links anymore, "Unable to open URI"

[Alexander]

Public bug reported:

After some of latest updates (12.04 LTS), opening urls from Empathy
broke.

Clicking a link in conversation window only displays dialog "Unable to
open URI, Operation not supported":

I'm quite certain this worked fine before, and is not result of any
misconfiguration as as of this writing, this also happens on my friends
installation.
