Bug Description

I've got the same error while trying to use salut (link-local) with empathy.

System : gutsy

Step to reproduce :
- Clear you settings : $ rm -rf .gconf/apps/telepathy/ .gconf/apps/empathy/ ./.gnome2/Empathy .mission-control/ ./.gnome2/Empathy
- Remove packages : $ sudo apt-get autoremove --purge telepathy-*

- Install packages : $ sudo apt-get install telepathy-gnome
- launch empathy : $ empathy

To get more information :
- launch MC $ mission-control
- launch dbus-monitor : $ dbus-monitor
- launch empathy : $ EMPATHY_DEBUG=all empathy

It was working with a account created with gutsy in august. Today, I tried to use it on an other computer (without any account), and it doesn't work.
I tried to remove Salut account and recreate it on the other computer, but it doesn't work anymore.
I put log bellow. (I don't have any with correct output since it doesn't work anymore on both computers).
This bug may be related to bug #126181 but I don't have a segfault.

In fact this happen because I didn't fill all field when I created the account.

To fix this :
$ rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/telepathy/mc/accounts/salut*
$ killall gconfd-2

Create an account without any empty field. Close the account manager window. Then this account will still be displayed when reopen the window.

You also can delete mc account using gconf editor and removing all keys of the account to remove.
