Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Additional details:
--------------------------------------

This bug occurs with empathy's account-plugin-* , (which require to fill up credentials). With account-plugin-* based on web authentication, everything seems to be ok.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open System Settings --> Online accounts
2. Try to add some of these accounts: aim, icq, jabber, yahoo (possibly also gadugadu, irc, mxit, myspace, salut, sametime, sip, zephyr)
3a. You can see there are fields for account details missing. If not, and everything seems ok, I found out how to reproduce this bug ===> proceed to 3b.
3.b Fill up credentials and open Empathy. Then try to remove added account and try to add it again. The fields are missing now. Sometimes this is "fixed" again after system restart.
4. Click on "Cancel" or "Done". You will experience this crash.

Even if you can fill up informations (see 3b), plugins, at least icq, does not seem to be working.

I have rebuilt and installed empathy and gnome-control-center from source with GCC -g flag (with debugging symbols) and reproduced crash. This is at least top of stacktrace with more informations:

I do not have any problems with providing whole apport report, but I do not think there is much more to see except this.

Also occurs in new empathy version 3.6.4-0ubuntu1, but now empathy is not working at all ("No online contacts" message which is impossible - and yes, I checked that)

Yeah I've been experiencing the bug that Jakub Budiský (jakub-budisky) for quite some time in raring. after recent updates its now regressed even further as he mentioned in comment 6, and now none of the plugins work. empathy/uoa has been an unusable buggy mess for a long time in raring :/

In addition to what comment #6 and #7 has stated, I have in UOA "null accounts" and empathy is not reading them.

@bwat47 & @Donato Roque:

I have found out that bug with "No online contacts" is connected to another crash (segmentation fault) with different conditions that this bug has, but I'm not able to reproduce it reliably. Here you can found incomplete tries to report that:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1130219
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1117583

What I know, empathy's GUI is killed but there are still running some parts (telepathy?) in background and you are still connected to working services without empathy's GUI, which is obviously not able to "re-bind" or restart whole "process hierarchy" and cannot display online contacts. So, please, if you found out how to reproduce this, It would be nice if you could open one of that bugs (or another if it is not that crash you are experiencing).

Empathy's development state is critical, I also experience another reported crashes with it. Unreliable and insecure. But it is not moving anywhere, unfortunately.

icq not working...
