Comment 11 for bug 433714

first time user of empathy, I dont have any other chat accounts and can not work around this bug.

telepathy-idle is installed by default in lucid. why is this the case if its bugged and featureless

besides being installed by default i would not even had known there was support for irc in empathy if gnome.org didn't list it as a recommended irc client. in ubuntu's defense https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat does not list empathy as a client so hopefully people will not expect the support.
