Bug Description

Binary package hint: empathy

Steps to reproduce:
1.) launch empathy in karmic live session
2.) choose the second bullet "No, I want a new account"
3.) in the first drop down there is only "jabber" and "google talk"

Expected: all protocols which are available

Workaround: close this window and go to edit->accounts or choose "yes, I'll enter my account details now" in the first dialog

The option is meant to create new accounts, not to enter accounts you have already

upstream bug comment

"This is kind of expected, as there's no way of creating, say, a MSN account
programmatically. In fact, GTalk should not be there either.

What we could do though is to redirect the user to the on-line page where you
can sign-up to the service."
