Bug Description
Binary package hint: empathy
Empathy wont connect to any major service trough a proxy. I've tried Google Talk, Jabber, MSN and Yahoo.
I set the proxy preferences in GNOME, it's a plain proxy for all protocols, without authentication.
Pidgin works normally in the same setup.
Ubuntu 8.10, Empathy 2.24.1

I tried using telepathy, through Empathy as frontend to use VOIP functions.
However, the interface provided no place to specify proxy.
Telepathy doesn't seems to support proxy for IM, while most popular applications like Pidgin/Purple do.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Empathy with related telepathy-gabble support behind a network requiring authenticated proxy
2. Create a new account and try to login.
Actual Results:
Empathy is unable to connect to required protocol's network.
Expected Results:
Should connect to required network, and should offer a proxy dialog or use system settings.
