Comment 42 for bug 435329

Nope. No indicator running whatsoever. But, I've got this working properly on both installs. Two separate sets of issues made this more confusing than it needed to be. I apologize.

Physical machine: uninstalled empathy, removed anything under /home related to empathy, pidgin, haze, purple, mission-control. Reinstalled empathy. Working as expected now.

Virtual machine: Empathy was being blocked via default port 1863 by the firewall at work. Fortunately I am the sysadmin. Most IM clients can dynamically use port 80 these days, so I was a little slow on this. After waiting about 3-4 minutes from launching empathy, the panel icon eventually appeared and I could see there was a network problem.

Thanks for staying with me on this.Now, on to actually using this thing.
