Bug Description

In case the XMPP server supports MUC, empathy will create the room called private-chat-$UUID following GTalk, however it is created with default settings and therefore is publicly visible in the conference list and open to everybody to join.

GTalk server does not list the available conferences (and it is using custom XMPP MUC settings) but other XMPP servers have a directory of current chats. The "private-chat-..." created in Empathy will be completely open for public.
